Senegal’s national weather agency, ANACIM, has forecast rainfall and thunderstorms across several regions of the country on June 12th. The southeast, including Bakel, Kédougou, and Tambacounda, is expected to experience the most significant activity, with moderate to heavy showers. The rainy conditions are predicted to extend northward towards central and south-central areas, impacting regions like Kaffrine and Kaolack. Northern areas, including Linguère, may see lighter rainfall, while Dakar and Thiès on the western coast could experience isolated, brief showers. This weather pattern is part of a broader period of atmospheric instability lasting from June 11th to 14th, with potential for further regional spread. The current rainfall marks the gradual onset of the rainy season in Senegal.
