Africa Weather Hazards
Flooding in the Sudd wetlands in South Sudan has slightly improved.
Due to a delayed start to the rainy season, insufficient rainfall, and extended dry spells, atypically dry and/or drought conditions are occurring in parts of Angola, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar,
South Africa, and Lesotho.
Floods persist in parts of DRC, Burundi, Tanzania, Angola, Rwanda, and Zambia.
Tropical Cyclone Gamane formed over northeast Madagascar on March 25 and is forecast to move west-southwest. Floods persist in southern Congo, western DRC, northwestern Angola, and northern and central portions of Madagascar.
Flooding from Tropical Storm Filipo continues in southern Mozambique, Eswatini, and northeastern South Africa. Kenya received heavy rainfall causing floods.
Atypically hot temperatures are occurring over central and southern Angola, western and central Zambia, northern Namibia, northern Botswana, northern and central Zimbabwe, and west-central Mozambique.
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.
