Zim braces for heavy rains, flooding

ZIMBABWE is set to experience heavy rains in the coming days, raising the risk of flooding in parts of the country, according to a regional weather update by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (Fews Net).

In its latest report released recently, Fews Net said northern and eastern Zimbabwe were among the areas expected to receive significant downpours next week as the weather system intensifies over much of southern Africa.

The forecast followed a week of moderate to locally heavy rainfall recorded across several countries in the region, including Angola, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique.
