that reflect weather and climatic conditions in Africa, as well as the
effect of climate change, events and activities on the continent. Including

climate and weather conditions. Read more about the theme here

Dear Wikimedians,
I am writing to announce that the ISA tool demo meeting
previously scheduled for *today 18th May 2023* has had to be postponed due
to technical difficulties with the tool on toolforge.
We are hoping it gets fixed asap to enable us to fix a new date for the
demo. All inconveniences are deeply regretted. A new date will be announced
as soon as possible.
Warm regards
Wilson
