Heavy storms, flash floods, flooding and tropical cyclones cannot be ruled out as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

The observations made in the current season are that heavy storms are getting more frequent.<\/p>\n

Due to the significant rainfall amounts that were recorded across most parts of the country during the first half of the season (October-November-December), it is important to be on the watch for flood-related disasters during the second-half.<\/p>\n

In December Zimbabwe narrowly escaped a tropical cyclone after the storm downgraded into a weakened tropical depression.<\/p>\n

The MSD had predicted normal to above-normal rainfall in the 2020\/21 rainy season owing to the La Nina climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean, with improved rains expected across Southern Africa.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some dams in the country are already spilling and in some urban areas, houses built on Wetlands are inundated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
