1 rows - 1 Africa country/area - 2010-2021 - source table - Engineered by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica)

TL;DR

This dataset contains 1 rows from IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC), covering Somalia Districts Hit by 2010 Tropical Cyclone Bandu. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Official statistics datasets help analysts inspect public data as published by governments, national statistical systems, and regional data portals.

Source-provided context: Excel file. Tropical Cyclone Bandu was named after Tropical Storm 02A moving into the Gulf of Aden. This layer shows TC Bandu hitting Bossaso District on May 21, 2010. Bandu had maximum sustained winds near 45 knots (52 mph) and was 50 miles north-northwest of Cape Guardafui, Somalia.

How To Read This Dataset

• —One row means: one source record from the original tabular resource, with Electric Sheep Africa provenance columns added where available.
• —Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• —Best time column: not detected.
• —Time coverage basis: source metadata.
• —Recommended join keys: country_iso3 where available plus source-specific keys.

Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-somalia-somalia-districts-hit-by-2010-tropical-cyclone-bandu-cd1c1e21")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "SOM"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• —No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• —Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• —Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• —Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.
