Animation showing the causes of the recent drying of the Congo basin in central Africa. This region hosts the second-largest tropical rainforest on Earth, but it has been drying over several years. This is due to higher sea surface temperatures in the western Indian Ocean. This leads to more convection and cloud formation, but the rain falls over the ocean, not over land. The resulting air that blows westwards over the Congo is much dryer than it was historically, which is weakening the rainforest ecosystem.
