Strong and gusty winds are expected overland across much of Malawi. The winds may blow dust, move loose items, and cause brief reduced visibility. Outdoor activities may be disrupted at times.
Members of the public are advised to exercise caution during gusty periods. Secure loose items such as light roofing materials and temporary shelters. Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians should be alert to dust and flying light debris. Stay updated with further forecasts and warnings from the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCMS).
Moderate to strong Mwera winds are expected over Lake Malawi and other water bodies. The strong winds are likely to cause rough waters, high waves and reduced visibility, posing a risk to small boats, canoes, fishermen and other water users. There is a risk of loss of life and property if precautionary measures are not taken.
All users of Lake Malawi and other water bodies are advised to exercise extreme caution. Avoid going out onto the water during strong winds. Fishermen, boat operators and passengers should postpone travel until conditions improve, wear life jackets, and ensure boats are not overloaded. Secure boats and fishing gear along the shore.
