Meteorological forecasts point to the occurrence of normal rainfall, with a tendency below normal in the southern and central regions of Mozambique, in the months of February, March and April.In the same period, the provinces of Niassa and Cabo Delgado may record normal rainfall with a tendency to above normal. This information was shared today, in Maputo, by the Climate Researcher at the National Institute of Meteorology, Berbardino Nhantumbo, during the Regional Climate Perspectives Forum of Southern Africa, SARCOF-28. Berbardino Nhantumbo explained that southern Mozambique could experience normal rainfall with a tendency to above normal, where large flows of water are expected to come from E-Swatini and South Africa. The source said that all this forecast was influenced by El Nino, which is in its positive phase. He highlighted that the seasonal climate forecast does not look at cyclones and at the moment we are at the peak of cyclones. The Climate Researcher recalled that if a cyclone affects the Mozambican coast it could there will be an increase in precipitation and change the predicted scenarios. SARCOF was created in 1996 by member countries of the Southern African Development Community, SADC, to enable meteorological services to prepare seasonal climate forecasts. In this forum, climate forecasting experts from member countries of the SADC publishes the seasonal climate forecast, referring to the rainy season from January to March, in this region, so that each country can later prepare its specific forecast.
