This situation is associated with a low-pressure system currently positioned over the country. The anticipated rainfall may lead to localized flash flooding and landslides particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas, as well as in locations where soils are already saturated. Districts at high flood risk (Category 6) include Karonga, Nkhotakota, Salima, Blantyre, Thyolo, Chiradzulu, Mulanje, Mangochi, Zomba, Machinga, Ntcheu, Mwanza, and Dedza. Furthermore, runoff from the highlands continues to pose a significant flood risk in the Shire Valley districts of Chikwawa and Nsanje. Currently Most areas have received high rainfall amounts with notable figures in the past 72hours.
