Fig. 7.

Seasonal patterns of wasting in children aged 6–59 months in Somalia. The figure shows the effect size of the four main seasons in Somalia on wasting: December to March is the ‘Jilaal’ season, a harsh dry season; ‘Gu’ which is the main rainy season from April to June; from July to September is the second dry season, the ‘Hagaa’; and the short rainy season known as ‘Deyr’ from October to December. The red line represents the mean and the black line shows the credible intervals.
