TROPICAL CYCLONE UPDATE..🌪🌪🌪

cc Picture 1 shows Chalane which is now just called a tropical storm/depression as it makes it's way from Mozambique into Zimbabwe, giving a lot of rain as it moves..

Picture 2 shows that we are still expecting a lot of heavy rainfall especially over North-East and North Central as the tropical storm cuts across the Northern parts of the country, warning of possibility of local flooding still expected over most parts for tomorrow. In addition more rainfall will be expected on the 1st January 2021 because now at medium levels the weather models are showing an Easterly wave which means more rainfall.

Picture 3 shows the projected path of the tropical storm/depression as it makes it's way to Namibia.

Chalane analysis as of now:
Winds speed averaged (every 10 minutes) 90 km/hr, with Central pressure at 992 hpa, giving heavy rainfalls over Zimbabwe of over 100mm in 24 hours.
