Mwera winds on Lake Malawi

Lake Malawi, lake Malombe, lake Chirwa,

A strong southeasterly air mass is expected to generate high and potentially dangerous water waves on Lake Malawi and other water bodies from the evening of Thursday, 5th June to Sunday, 8th June 2025. These waves may capsize small boats, disrupt lake activities such as fishing, sailing, and swimming, and could lead to drowning and loss of life.

1. Avoid traveling on our lake, especially in small boats, during this period. 2. Fishers are advised to postpone fishing trips until conditions improve. 3. All lake users should stay alert to updates from DCCMS. 4. Secure boats and equipment near the shoreline to prevent damage. 5. Swimming and recreational activities on lakes should be suspended. 6. Report any emergencies to local authorities or disaster response teams.
