Mekdes Debesay made a headline for the wrong reasons this week. Now she has responded for the question raised from viewers.

Extreme levels of flood danger are expected in the coming winter, according to the Meteorological Institute.

The Ethiopian Meteorological Institute (EMA) has urged flood prone areas to be vigilant as heavy rains are expected in the coming winter.

It has also been suggested that the recent high temperatures are due to natural and man-made phenomena.

The institute's weather and weather forecaster, Tamiru Kebede, told ENA that forecasts are expected to be above normal next winter.

Due to the Lalina climate change, the country is experiencing a dry season in autumn and autumn, he said.

He said the rains are increasing, especially in the north-east and east of the country.

He also said that the recent high temperatures in Lalino are related to natural and man-made disasters, which could lead to floods.

According to the expert, flood-prone areas, communities and institutions should already be involved in disaster prevention.

He also called on the people to be vigilant, especially in areas prone to floods, rivers and slopes.

He attributed the lack of rain in Borena, Bale, Somali and southern parts of the country to the lack of rainfall.

He also called on disaster management, the Ministry of Health, agriculture and other service providers to take precautionary measures against Lalino.

He also said that since the beginning of May, the temperature has risen sharply due to the expansion of cities and the depletion of water bodies.

He called on the community to cope with the negative effects of climate change by planting and caring for a variety of plants.
