Met Department Warns Of Heavy Rains And Floods Until January 11

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has forecasted that most parts of the country will experience heavy rains, thunderstorms, and flash floods until Saturday, January 11, 2025.

In an advisory issued over the weekend, the MSD predicted that heavy downpours exceeding 50 millimetres (mm) within 24 hours are expected across the country. The advisory noted:

An abundance of moisture in the atmosphere, brought by a cloud system, has been causing rainfall across the country since late December 2024 and continues into January 2025.

Matabeleland North, northern areas of Midlands, Harare Metropolitan, northern parts of Manicaland, and all Mashonaland Provinces are expected to receive scattered thundershowers from 5–8 January 2025.

The MSD said that additional moisture from the southeast coast of Southern Africa on Wednesday evening would result in cloudy, windy, and cold conditions over Matabeleland South, Masvingo, and Manicaland Provinces. The MSD added:

By Friday, January 10, the rain showers are expected to intensify in the southern parts of Mashonaland West, Mashonaland East, and Harare Metropolitan Provinces, with rainfall exceeding 50mm in 24 hours.

The MSD also issued a warning about potential flooding, even in areas that might not have experienced heavy rains, as floods can result from upstream rainfall.

Violent storms could lead to falling trees, blown-off rooftops, and collapsing billboards due to strong winds.

The department advised the public to secure their rooftops and properties, avoid parking vehicles under trees, refrain from standing under trees or being the tallest object to prevent lightning strikes and avoid using outdoor heavy machinery during storms.

Mentally, I'm becoming partily cloudy with isolated thunder showers when in most instances, l hear the Met dept depicting a misguiding weather focus. Is it because of the machines they are using that might be somehow outdated or what? It is not a surprise to come to the expected dates when the unrelentless heat will be scotching people even to have some faint drizzle.
