Somalia Districts Hit by 2012 Tropical Cyclone Murjan | Africa (IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC))

30 rows - 1 Africa country/area - 2017 - 6 indicators - Engineered by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica)

TL;DR

This dataset contains 30 rows from IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC), covering Somalia Districts Hit by 2012 Tropical Cyclone Murjan. 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: CSV file. This layer shows Somalia Districts struck by 2012 TC Murjan. They include, Bossaso, Bandarbeyla, Iskushuban, Garoowe and Eyl District. TC Murjan formed over the south Arabian Sea in association with an active inter tropical convergence zone during last week of October 2012. Moving west-southwestwards, it crossed Somalia coast between 1700 and 1800 UTC of 25th October near lat. 9.80N and long. 50.80E. The system could maintain its intensity of cyclonic storm till landfall, basically due to low to moderate vertical wind shear.

Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-somalia-somalia-districts-hit-by-2012-tropical-cyclone-murjan-cef89fbd")
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

• —Canonical time field: year.
• —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.

Transformations Applied

• —Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• —Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• —Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.
• —Preserved source-reported values without analytical imputation.

Suggested Analyses

• —Profile the distribution of values
• —Compare categories or geographies
• —Join with complementary public datasets
• —Build time-series views and period-over-period comparisons
• —Pivot to geography x period or indicator x period matrices
• —Check missingness before modeling
• —Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
