Southern parts of Malawi are to receive heavy rains influenced by Cyclone Freddy, from Friday this week, experts have said.
In its latest update, the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services says, Freddy, which is currently classified as Severe Tropical Storm continues to intensify in the
Mozambique channel.
Meanwhile, the Tropical storm has turned towards West and is later expected to take the northwesterly trajectory moving at a speed of 7km/h heading towards Mozambique.
“Projections maintain a very high chance that FREDDY will return and make a second landfall over Mozambique by Friday. The exact landing position is not certain but is likely to be between Beira and Nampula,” reads part of the statement.
However, according to the department, projections have also indicated chances of the cyclone moving towards Southern part of Malawi, in the process, enhancing rainfall activities in the region from Friday.
