The Meteorological Services Department, in collaboration with the Department of Civil Protection, has released the <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report</a> and Forecast for May 28 to May 30, 2023.
As noted in the report, Nyanga recorded medium frost as night temperatures continue to fall throughout the country due to clear skies. The <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">daily minimum temperatures</a> are also expected to follow this downward trend in all areas.
The forecast for May 29, 2023, anticipates a drop in evening to morning temperatures due to persistent clear skies and lighter winds. Therefore, more ground frost is expected in areas such as Nyanga, Hwedza, Matopos, and Henderson. The report emphasizes that ground frost is anticipated in high and open places, and cold conditions can affect the health of <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">vulnerable individuals</a> and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons.
Moreover, poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight temperature declines. The difference between night and daytime temperatures can also affect the body&#8217;s perception of cold. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that vulnerable members are appropriately dressed, especially in the early hours of the morning. Additionally, it is crucial to monitor the temperature within <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">fowl runs</a> and adjust accordingly to reduce the impacts of cold conditions on the bird population.
The weather outlook for May 30, 2023, indicates that ground frost will remain a challenge as clear skies are expected to persist countrywide. Therefore, the country should be alert to its dangers. The report advises that frost mitigation measures need to be considered in frost-prone areas, and individuals should contact their local <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Agritex Officer</a> for better advice.
It is essential to take heed of the warnings and advice provided in the report to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals, particularly the vulnerable members of society, livestock, and crops.

Zimbabwe's Meteorological Services Issues Weather Report And Forecast For May 28-30

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in collaboration with the Department of Civil Protection, has released the <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report</a> and Forecast for May 12-14, 2023.
The MSD reported <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">scattered clouds</a> in areas such as Harare Metropolitan, <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Mashonaland East</a>, and <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Manicaland provinces</a> in the afternoon, while all other areas had sunny conditions during the day.
For May 13, partly cloudy afternoon conditions are expected in Harare&#8217;s Metropolitan, Mashonaland East, and Manicaland provinces, while all other areas should experience clear skies with cold mornings and warm afternoons. <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Wind conditions</a> are expected to vary between light and variable in the east and fresh in the west, including in Matabeleland South, Matabeleland North, Bulawayo, and Midlands province.
MSD said the impacts of cold weather may pose health risks to <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">vulnerable individuals</a> and trigger respiratory illnesses in all people. Ground frost may affect crops, particularly in frost-prone areas. Poultry, particularly day-old chicks, are sensitive to temperature declines overnight. High daytime temperatures increase the risk of dehydration and evapotranspiration.
To mitigate these impacts, individuals should dress appropriately in the early hours of the morning, take measures to prevent frost damage in frost-prone areas, stay hydrated, wear a sunhat or use an umbrella when outdoors between 10 am and 3 pm, and monitor plants and animals for moisture and heat stress, giving them adequate water to drink or watering as needed.
The weather outlook for Sunday, May 14, 2023, is as follows: <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Bulawayo Metropolitan</a>, southern parts of Midlands, Manicaland, Masvingo, and Matabeleland South provinces should experience windy and cold conditions in the morning, with brief cloudy intervals in Beitbridge, Mwenezi, and Chiredzi Districts. By the afternoon, conditions are expected to become mild. In all other areas, it should be mostly sunny and warm by midday, but cold in the morning and evening.

MSD Forecasts Isolated Thunderstorms, Thundershowers - 24-26 March 2023

A South African non-governmental organisation, Gift of the Givers, has said more help is needed in Malawi following the devastating tropical cyclone, Freddy which hit the country earlier last week.
Gift of the Givers representative in Malawi, Sherifa Mia said that some parts of the country that were affected by Freddy are still inaccessible. <a href="https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/more-help-needed-in-malawi-following-storm-says-gift-of-the-givers/">SABC News</a> quoted Mia as saying:
<blockquote>
We have the UN agencies we have international organisations, but the devastation is just so huge that still a lot of people, thousands and thousands of people haven’t been reached.
We were out distributing food to camps in rural areas and they were actually shocked to see us because nobody has been to see them, to give them any help.
The rain stopped two days now where in some areas it’s not raining, but in other areas is still raining, so still accessibility is a problem, and a lot of roads have been cut off.
</blockquote>
Last week President Lazarus Chakwera declared the devastation that Freddy has caused in Malawi a national tragedy.
Zambia has provided two aircraft to help in the rescue and distribution of relief aid to victims in areas where many people are still trapped.
More than 200 people have been declared missing by the authorities, while more than 300 people have died.

MSD Weather Report & Forecast: 15 To 17 March 2023

Tropical Cyclone Freddy has killed at least 190 people in Malawi and five have been confirmed dead in Mozambique.
Freddy is refusing to dissipate and has broken records for the number of times it has re-intensified after weakening, <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/record-breaking-cyclone-freddy-kills-dozens-in-malawi-and-mozambique-12833346">reported Sky News</a>.
It has re-intensified after weakening seven times.
The cyclone has recorded the highest-ever recorded accumulated energy for a single cyclone – more energy over its lifetime than a whole typical US hurricane season.
According to French weather agency Meteo-France’s regional centre, the cyclone has not subsided yet. It has warned that “the heaviest rains will continue over the next 48 hours”.
Malawi police spokesperson Peter Kalaya said they expect the death toll to rise as some people have been reported missing. Said Kalaya:
<blockquote>
We suspect that this figure will rise as we are trying to compile one national report from our southwest, southeast and eastern police offices which cover the affected areas.
</blockquote>
Doctors Without Borders say the threat of a resurgence of cholera remains a major concern as Malawi recently suffered the biggest outbreak the country has seen in its history.
Freddy emerged on 6 February and travelled from near Australia across the entire southern Indian Ocean, hitting Madagascar and Reunion on its path.
The UN’s weather agency will determine if Freddy has broken the record for the longest tropical cyclone set by Hurricane John in 1994 of 31 days.
Meteo-France also said that Freddy should subside and exit back to the sea on Wednesday.
Experts say fossil-fuel-driven climate change has increased the number of intense and destructive storms in three key ways:
<ul>
<li>a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, increasing the extreme rainfall dumped by storms</li>
<li>hotter oceans fuel more powerful storms, spreading tropical storms further north and south</li>
<li>higher sea levels inflict more damage during a storm surge.</li>
</ul>

MSD Weather Report & Forecast: 14 To 16 March 2023

Some parts of Manicaland Province, including Nyanga, Mutare urban, Chimanimani, and Chipinge, received heavy rains and winds from Sunday evening up to Monday resulting in landslides and damage to some houses and schools.
The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) on Monday said Nyanga received 102mm, Mukandi 97mm, and Chisengu 83mm of rainfall.
It said the thunderstorms and rain were caused by moisture stemming from the now decaying former Tropical Cyclone Freddy and relief rainfall caused by the mountainous area.
According to <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/freddy-brings-heavy-rains-landslides-in-manicaland/">The Herald</a>, the situation was very bad in Nyanga where a landslide blocked traffic on Troutbeck Road.
Secretary for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Manicaland Province, Edgars Seenza, said by late Monday night, excavators were on the ground to clear the debris. Said Seenza:
<blockquote>
I have received a report of a landslide along Troutbeck Road in Nyanga, blocking the road.
We have been advised that appropriate equipment has been taken to the site to clear the mud and trees on the ground so that traffic can start to pass.
I also heard that crops were affected by heavy winds in Chipinge District. A detailed report will be available tomorrow (today).
</blockquote>
Assistant District Development Committee for Nyanga Lloyd Kasima said:
<blockquote>
It’s still raining as I talk to you. Crops have been brought down in some areas and there is a landslide close to Troutbeck Hotel and a TLB is clearing the road. Buses and other vehicles could not pass.
Almost five households and teachers’ houses at two schools had roofs blown off by the winds.

Cyclone Freddy Drenches Nyanga

Tropical Cyclone Freddy has broken records for the duration and strength of tropical storms in the southern hemisphere.
According to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/12/africa/cyclone-freddy-mozambique-intl/index.html">CNN</a>, the cyclone hit central Mozambique on Sunday and knocked down communications and electricity supply in the area.
More than 171 000 people were affected after the cyclone hit southern Mozambique last month, killing 27 people in Mozambique and Madagascar.
UNICEF said Freddy made landfall with sustained winds of nearly 150 kilometers per hour.
The cyclone caused “severe damage and cutting off children and families from critical services.”
Satellite data showed that after passing the port town of Quelimane, the storm continued inland towards the southern tip of neighboring Malawi.
Speaking to Reuters by satellite phone from Quelimane, Guy Taylor, the UNICEF chief of advocacy, communications and partnerships for Mozambique, said:
<blockquote>
The wind was very strong into the night … There is a lot of destruction, trees fallen down, roofs blown off.
It’s potentially a disaster of large magnitude, and additional support will be needed.
</blockquote>
Malawian authorities were expecting the cyclone to pass near the southern tip of the country by evening, bringing torrential rains and flooding.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy developed on 6 February off the northwest Australian coast, before tracking thousands of kilometres across the South Indian Ocean towards southeast Africa.
It affected the islands of Mauritius and La Réunion on the way to Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.

Cyclone Freddy Makes Landfall In Mozambique For Second Time

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Meteorological_Services_Department">Meteorological Services Department (MSD)</a> of Zimbabwe has announced that severe Tropical Storm Freddy upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Freddy on Saturday afternoon. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the department said:
<h2>ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS SATURDAY 11 MARCH 2023 VALID UNTIL MONDAY 13 MARCH 2023. </h2>
<h2>PREAMBLE</h2>
Light rain was experienced yesterday and today in the eastern parts of the country: Manicaland, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland Central. Rainfall amounts recorded, however, were all traces except for 21mm measured at Mount Darwin. All other places were mostly sunny and warm in the afternoon. Severe Tropical Storm Freddy upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Freddy this afternoon and is heading towards the northern coast of Mozambique.
<h2>FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, SUNDAY 12 MARCH 2023 </h2>
It should be cloudy with a chance of intermittent light rain in Mashonaland Central, Harare Metropolitan, Mashonaland East, Manicaland and Masvingo Province. Isolated thunderstorms are probable in the afternoon. Expect partly cloudy and warm weather in Mashonaland West, northern parts of the Midlands, Matabeleland North, Bulawayo Metropolitan, and Masvingo Province. Winds are anticipated to be moderate to fresh in most parts of the country.
<h2>IMPACTS</h2>
• Wind Gusts increase the probability of loose debris or roofs being blown-off. 
• The wind factor makes the real-feel temperature much less than the actual. 
• Light rains may affect outdoor activities
<h2>ACTIONS TO TAKE</h2>
• Secure rooftops and insure any loose objects that can be easily carried by the wind are secure. 
• Avoid being outdoors during episodes of strong winds as debris carried by the wind can cause harm and injury. 
• Ensure vulnerable persons are kept warm and safe, especially towards evening when winds are expected to strengthen. 
• Plan with the weather in mind as light rains and strong winds are anticipated especially over the eastern and southern parts of the country.
<h2>WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR MONDAY 13 MARCH 2023</h2>
Cloudy, windy and rainy conditions are predicted in Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, Masvingo, the southern portion of Midlands, Manicaland, Mashonaland East, Harare Metropolitan and Mashonaland Central Provinces. The remaining places should be partly cloudy and warm in the afternoon with a moderate breeze.

"Severe Tropical Storm Freddy Upgraded To Tropical Cyclone Freddy This Afternoon"

Rains and winds hit parts of Mozambique on Saturday as Tropical Cyclone Freddy drew closer for the second time, according to the Mozambique National Meteorology Institute (INAM).
Freddy slowed its advance towards Mozambique and was 60 kilometres (40 miles) off the coast on Saturday morning.
INAM said cyclone Freddy reduced its speed from seven to four kph, thus delaying its entry. 
Authorities added that heavy rains and very strong winds were affecting the central provinces of Zambezia, Manica and Sofala.
The cyclone was expected to make a second landfall in Mozambique later this weekend, after a first deadly hit in late February.
It was initially forecast to make landfall on Friday night.
Guy Taylor, a spokesman for the United Nations’ children agency UNICEF, told <a href="https://www.enca.com/news/first-rains-hit-mozambique-cyclone-freddy-inches-closer-again">AFP</a> from the seaport of Quelimane, in Zambezia, on Saturday that there was already quite a substantial flooding.
He added that rain and wind had been “on and off” as Cyclone Freddy cyclone inched closer to Mozambique.   
On Friday, authorities said more than half a million people were at risk. 
The storm was forecasted to drop up to 400 millimetres of rain over the next few days, more than twice the usual monthly rainfall. 
According to the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Freddy, which began life off northwestern Australia in the first week of February, was set to become the longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record.
It crossed the entire southern Indian Ocean and hit Madagascar on February 21, crossing the island before reaching Mozambique on February 24.
Following what meteorologists describe as a “rare” loop trajectory, Freddy then headed back towards Madagascar before moving once more towards Mozambique.
During the first visit, it destroyed, damaged or flooded more than 28 000 homes, affecting about 166 000 people.
In total, Freddy has so far killed at least 27 people (10 in Mozambique and 17 in Madagascar).

Rains Hit Mozambique As Cyclone Freddy Gets Closer Again

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Meteorological_Services_Department">Meteorological Services Department (MSD)</a> of Zimbabwe has forecasted windy weather conditions from Saturday onwards. In a weather update seen by Pindula News, MSD also reported that Tropical Storm Freddy influenced the weather conditions recorded in the eastern and southern parts of Zimbabwe. Reads the update: 
<h2>ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS FRIDAY 10 MARCH 2023 VALID UNTIL SUNDAY 12 MARCH 2023.</h2>
Severe Tropical Storm Freddy is still in the Mozambique Channel (more than 500 km east of Nyanga) heading towards the north coast of Mozambique (near Quelimane). Freddy’s outer-spiral cloud bands (stretching over more than a 750 km radius) resulted in cloudy, windy and mild conditions over the southern and eastern parts of the country (Matabeleland South, Masvingo, south-western parts of Midlands, Harare Metropolitan, Manicaland and all Mashonaland Provinces), with light drizzle in Masvingo, Manicaland and southern parts of Mashonaland East. Other parts of the country had mostly sunny but also became windy towards evening.
<h2>FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, SATURDAY 11 MARCH 2023 </h2>
Windy conditions are expected over much of the country, strengthening towards evening. It should be mild in Masvingo, Manicaland, Harare Metropolitan and all Mashonaland Provinces, with partly cloudy conditions at first becoming cloudy towards evening with light rain, especially over high ground. Mostly sunny and warm are anticipated in all other areas (Bulawayo Metropolitan, Midlands as well as Matabeleland North and South Provinces), though mild in the morning and windy towards evening.
<h2>IMPACTS</h2>
Wind Gusts increase the probability of lost debris or roofs being blown-off. The wind factor makes the real-feel temperature much less than the actual. Light rains may affect outdoor activities.
<h2>ACTION TO TAKE</h2>
• Secure rooftops and insure any loose objects that can be easily carried by the wind are secure. 
• Avoid being outdoors during episodes of strong winds as debris carried by the wind can cause harm and injury. 
• Ensure vulnerable persons are kept warm and safe, especially towards evening when winds are expected to strengthen. 
• Plan with the weather in mind as light rains and strong winds are anticipated especially over the eastern and southern parts of the country.

Zimbabwe Weather - 10-12 MARCH 2023

The current dry and sunny weather conditions currently prevailing in most parts of the country are a result of Severe Tropical Storm Freddy which is in the Mozambique channel but moving towards the northern coast of Mozambique, the Met Department has said.
In a weather update issued in conjunction with the Department of Civil Protection on Thursday afternoon, MSD said much of the country was dry, with the only light shower being over Kariba. It said:
<blockquote>
The proximity of Severe Tropical Storm Freddy, currently approaching the northern coast of Mozambique, led to a cirrus cloud over much of the north-eastern parts of the country (parts of Midlands, Harare Metropolitan, northern district of Manicaland and all Mashonaland Provinces); with a halo being noted in some places.
Cool morning conditions prevailed in these parts as the same system dried up much of the atmosphere with the only light shower being over Kariba.
It was sunny and mild in other parts of the country (Masvingo, Bulawayo Metropolitan, and Matabeleland North and South) and became warm by afternoon.
</blockquote>
The MSD has forecasted mostly sunny and mild weather conditions, with a chance of afternoon thundershowers over parts Masvingo, Manicaland, Mashonaland East and Central provinces on Friday, 10 March.
Sunny and hot conditions are anticipated over the remaining provinces.
Members of the public have been urged to take measures to protect themselves against high daytime temperatures.
On 11 March, windy and cloudy conditions with light intermittent showers are expected in Manicaland Province. Said MSD:
<blockquote>
In Manicaland Province expect windy and cloudy conditions with light intermittent showers that may be thundery in places.
Those in Masvingo, Midlands, Harare Metropolitan and all Mashonaland Provinces should experience brief cloudy periods and isolated afternoon thundershowers.
All other areas (Bulawayo Metropolitan as well as Matabeleland North and South Provinces) are anticipated to be mostly sunny and warm, though mild in the morning and evening.

Cyclone Freddy Dries Zimbabwe

Cyclone Freddy killed eight people in Madagascar and destroyed more than 1 000 homes when it hit the Indian Ocean island for the second time on Monday.
The storm killed 21 people and displaced thousands in Mozambique and Madagascar during its first journey westward in late February.
Cyclone Freddy is expected to make landfall again in Mozambique later this week.
According to<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-64884106"> BBC</a>, the tropical cyclone is on track to become the longest-lasting storm on record and it continues to gain strength.
Freddy has already broken records for the strength it has accumulated and the 8 000km path it travelled across the Indian Ocean.
It already holds the record for the highest accumulated cyclone energy in the southern hemisphere.
Cyclone Freddy began its journey as a tropical storm on 6 February south of Indonesia and rapidly intensified to Category 1 intensity the following day.
By 11 February, Cyclone Freddy rapidly intensified again to Category 3.
Eight days later, as a Category 5 storm, Freddy became the longest-lasting, most intense Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone as measured by the ACE index – in records dating to 1980.
ACE is an abbreviation for accumulated cyclone energy, and is a metric used by scientists to measure the duration and intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes around the world.
The higher the ACE, the longer-lasting and more intense the tropical cyclone.
Fifteen days after it first became a tropical storm, Freddy became only the second southern Indian Ocean tropical cyclone in NOAA’s best track database to have reached at least Category 1 intensity and track from near Indonesia all the way to a Madagascar landfall.
Cyclone Eline/Leon in February 2000 was the only other storm to reach such an intensity as well as last and track that long.
Cyclone Freddy made landfall in southern Mozambique as a tropical storm on 24 February but quickly lost much of its intensity the following day.
By the time it entered southern Zimbabwe, Freddy’s remnant had downgraded to a low-pressure zone.
Instead of its remnant low dissipating over southern Africa, it made a U-turn and tracked eastward into the Mozambique Channel and became a tropical storm again last Friday.

The weather report and forecast issued by the Meteorological Services Department in conjunction with the Department of Civil Protection at 4 PM on Tuesday 07 March 2023 valid until Thursday 09 March 2023:
<h2>PREAMBLE</h2>
The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is moving further northwards into Zambia. It left isolated light showers in the northern parts of Midlands, Harare Metropolitan, northern parts of Manicaland, Mashonaland Central and Mashonaland East Provinces, yesterday. These showers were coupled with lightning in some places.
Today’s morning hours were cloudy and mild in the southern districts of the Midlands, Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces but became less cloudy by evening.
This was due to the continued drying effect caused by Tropical Storm Freddy (currently more than a thousand kilometres away, near the southwest coast of Madagascar) as it draws moisture away from Southern Africa.
<h2>FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY 08 MARCH 2023</h2>
Hot and humid conditions with brief cloudy periods and a slight chance of isolated afternoon thunderstorms are anticipated in areas along the Zambezi Valley.
All other areas are expected to be mostly sunny and warm conditions. It should be mild in the morning and evening.
<h2>IMPACTS </h2>
<ul>
<li>Hot daytime conditions are to be anticipated, these increase dehydration and evapotranspiration.</li>
<li>Thunderstorms remain probable, and these pose a threat to humans and livestock as well as property. • Thunderstorms are usually coupled with localized wind gusts.</li>
</ul>
<h2>ACTIONS TO TAKE</h2>
<ul>
<li>Keep hydrated and if there is a need to stay outdoors for a prolonged period, ensure to wear a sunhat or
sunscreen.</li>
<li>Monitor plants and animals/pets for moisture and heat stress and act accordingly to reduce these impacts by watering or giving them adequate water to drink.</li>
<li>When lightning is visible or thunder audible, go indoors and avoid contact with water or metal objects.</li>
</ul>
<h2>WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR THURSDAY 09 MARCH 2023</h2>
It should be cool in the morning with clear skies country wide becoming warm by afternoon.
Clouds are expected to filter in Manicaland province from noon, leading to afternoon and evening
thunderstorms and strong winds in places.

MSD Weather Report & Forecast: 07 To 09 March 2023

Tropical Cyclone Freddy has revived in the Mozambique Channel and is expected to intensify before making landfall in Mozambique again, but this time in northern parts of the country later this week.
Strong winds, storm surges and life-threatening flooding are possible.
On Tuesday afternoon, Freddy’s centre was just off the southwestern coast of Madagascar.
According to <a href="https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2023-03-06-tropical-cyclone-freddy-mozambique-madagascar-record">The Weather Channel</a>, 6 to 17 inches of rain has been recorded in Ranohira and Tulear (Madagascar) Sunday into Monday due to outer rainbands wrapping around Freddy.
The tropical weather system is expected to track toward the northwest over the next several days, gaining strength until reaching the coast of northern Mozambique on Saturday, 11 March 2023.
Landfall is expected to be farther north than its first Mozambique landfall on 24 February.
Cyclone Freddy could set a world record for the longest-lasting, most intense tropical cyclone.
It began its journey as a tropical storm on 6 February south of Indonesia and rapidly intensified to Category 1 intensity the following day.
By 11 February, Cyclone Freddy rapidly intensified again to Category 3.
Eight days later, as a Category 5 storm, Freddy became the longest-lasting, most intense Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone as measured by the ACE index – in records dating to 1980.
ACE is an abbreviation for accumulated cyclone energy, and is a metric used by scientists to measure the duration and intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes around the world.
The higher the ACE, the longer-lasting and more intense the tropical cyclone.
Fifteen days after it first became a tropical storm, Freddy became only the second southern Indian Ocean tropical cyclone in NOAA’s best track database to have reached at least Category 1 intensity and track from near Indonesia all the way to a Madagascar landfall.
Cyclone Eline/Leon in February 2000 was the only other storm to reach such an intensity as well as last and track that long.
Cyclone Freddy made landfall in southern Mozambique as a tropical storm on 24 February but quickly lost much of its intensity the following day.
By the time it entered southern Zimbabwe, Freddy’s remnant had downgraded to a low-pressure zone.
Instead of its remnant low dissipating over southern Africa, it made a U-turn and tracked eastward into the Mozambique Channel and became a tropical storm again last Friday.
