Dar es Salaam. About six regions that receive rainfall twice a year, including Dar es Salaam, are expected to experience normal to above-normal rainfall during the upcoming Masika season (March–April–May), raising the risk of flooding and outbreaks of waterborne diseases, weather experts have warned.
