HEAVY RAINFALL WARNING

Highest risk over the southern, central, and lakes

Heavy rainfall is expected to affect most areas during the forecast period, with the highest risk over the southern, central, and lakeshore regions. These conditions are associated with the presence of a low-pressure system over Malawi. The rainfall may trigger flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas and possible damage to weak structures due to occasional strong winds.

The public is advised to remain vigilant and take the following precautionary measures: • Avoid crossing flooded or fast-flowing rivers • Stay away from low-lying areas that are prone to flooding. • Do not seek shelter under trees or weak structures during strong winds or thunderstorms. • Avoid moving in open areas when thunderstorms are occurring in vicinity
