# π Climate Change in Africa π‘οΈπ
### π Project Overview
This project analyzes the Climate Change in Africa dataset (1980β2023), focusing on temperature fluctuations across five African countries:
πͺπ¬ Egypt β’ πΉπ³ Tunisia β’ π¨π² Cameroon β’ πΈπ³ Senegal β’ π¦π΄ Angola
We explore temperature trends, distributions, and averages using Python libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly. The goal is to visualize climate patterns and understand how warming has affected different regions.

### π Tasks & Visualizations
**1οΈβ£ Line Chart: Tunisia vs Cameroon**
π Compare average temperature fluctuations between Tunisia πΉπ³ and Cameroon π¨π².
Shows long-term warming trends.
Highlights differences between Mediterranean vs tropical climates.
**2οΈβ£ Zoomed Line Chart (1980β2005)**
π Focus on early years to see initial warming signals.
Customized axis labels for clarity.
**3οΈβ£ Histograms: Senegal πΈπ³**
π Compare temperature distributions:
1980β2000 (blue π¦)
2000β2023 (red π₯)
β‘οΈ Reveals how Senegalβs climate shifted toward higher averages after 2000.
**4οΈβ£ Bar Chart: Average Temperature per Country**
π Compare mean temperatures across Egypt, Tunisia, Cameroon, Senegal, and Angola.
Clear country-level comparison.
Best chart for summarizing averages.
**5οΈβ£ Extra Question π‘**
π Which country warmed the fastest?
Line chart of yearly averages shows slope differences.
Steeper slope = faster warming trend.
