The Meteorological Services Department (Met Dept) has said that the rains are set to slightly lessen as the country is expected to experience La Nina — a climatic condition characterised by above normal rains — in the 2016/17 season.
The Met Dept said while there are chances of above normal rainfall, the country should anticipate one drought or another. Its senior forecaster, Tich Zinyemba, said while all areas are forecast to be hot and humid with sharp downpours, it will be concentrated along the watershed and the Eastern highlands areas.
He also warned that people should stay indoors in case of heavy rain and flooding.
