Africa Weather Hazards.

Flooding continues in parts of South Sudan, DRC, Burundi, and Tanzania (especially Bariadi District, Dar es Salaam City, and Morogoro Region).
-
Due to a delayed start to the rainy season and insufficient rainfall, abnormally dry conditions are present across parts of Angola, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Madagascar. Particularly large deficits in western Zambia have led to drought. -
Flooding in northern Angola has improved but worsened in the east. Flooding continues in central Mozambique.
-
Flooding has worsened in the northern region of Zambia and continues to affect the KwaZulu-Natal Province in eastern South Africa.

Note
The Hazards outlook map is based on current weather/climate information, short and medium-range weather forecasts (up to one week), sub-seasonal forecasts up to four weeks, and assesses the potential impact of extreme events on crop and pasture conditions. Shaded polygons are added in areas where anomalous conditions have been observed and predicted to continue during the outlook period. The boundaries of these polygons are only approximate at the spatial scale of the map. This product considers long-range seasonal climate forecasts but does not reflect current or projected food security conditions. FEWS NET is a USAID-funded activity whose purpose is to provide objective information about food security conditions.
