Answer:

Dryness: The North East Trade Wind is a dry breeze and therefore leads to the drying of plants and dry skin and human lips.

Lack of rainfall: Apart from the dry air, these winds do not bring rain, causing the drying of crops.

Poor visibility: The winds bring along dust, which can interfere with aircraft operations and settle the dust on the decks of ships.

Harmattan: The winds blow around the months of November to March, leading to harmattan in the area and causing temperatures to be as low as 9°C all day.

Bushfires/wildfires: The dryness caused by the North East Trade Wind can facilitate bushfires or wildfires.
