Tropical Cyclone Jude made landfall in Mozambique’s Nampula province on 10 March 2025, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds. As of 20 March, the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) has recorded 1,002,259 individuals affected and 225,030 houses either fully or partially damaged. Severe flooding and extensive infrastructure damage have been reported in Nampula and Zambezia provinces, further exacerbating vulnerabilities in communities already struggling with food insecurity, displacement, and limited access to essential services. This cyclone season has been particularly severe, with Nampula and Zambezia previously hit by Tropical Cyclones Chido (December 2024) and Dikeledi (January 2025), which collectively affected approximately 684,000 individuals. As Jude moved inland, it weakened to a severe storm over Nampula, Zambezia, Manica, Niassa, Sofala and Tete, adding to the cumulative impact of consecutive cyclones and increasing humanitarian needs.
