Jan-2019 (Seasonal Hydro-meteorlogical)


Ethiopia is located between latitudes of 3.8°N to 14.5°N and longitudes of 33°E to 48°E with an area of about 1.12 million km2. The varied topography of the country shows extreme changes in altitude with its lowest point at about 120meters below sea level (Kobat Sink Afar depression) and its highest point about 4620 meters above sea level (Ras dashen.).These physographic variations create a large difference in meteorological and hydrological condition both by time and space.
