Rains expected to continue until March

The Meteorological Services Department expects rain activity to continue throughout the week although it notes that precipitation levels have decreased from as high as 223mm to 50mm in some parts of the country.

Speaking to journalists yesterday Mrs Chenai Sithole attributed the decrease in rainfall to the shift in the line of convergence further to the north, that is in Mashonaland Central and West Provinces. MSD deputy director Mrs Rebecca Manzou said the country is expected to receive rains up until March.

Meanwhile the Civil Protection Unit has issued a statement warning people to continue being alert for floods, landslides and other associated hazards since rain activity is expected to last until March.
