COUNTRIES in the Southern African Development Community, Zimbabwe included, must brace for normal to above-normal rainfall between February and June, the recent 32nd Second Southern African Regional Climate Outlook Forum (Sarcof-32) report has revealed.
This comes as the member states have been challenged to invest in meteorological infrastructure and adopt emerging technologies to enhance accuracy in forecasts and provide best services to weather information users.
In a statement from the 32nd Second Southern African Regional Climate Outlook Forum (Sarcof-32) held in Eswatini last week, the SADC CSC said: “The Southern African Development Community (SADC) region is likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall for most of the period from February to June 2026, except for the entire western coastal areas and north-eastern parts of the SADC region.
From February to March, most parts of DRC, eastern most parts of Angola, most of eastern Namibia, Zambia, western Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, most of Mozambique, Eswatini, Lesotho, and most of South Africa will have normal rainfall with increased chances of above-normal rainfall
