Meteorological Department is forecasting heavy rainfall in the Kavango East and Northern Central parts of the country within the next 48 hours.
“We are monitoring the situation and expect to issue a warning about the heavy rains expected to fall in Kavango East, from where it will move to the Northern Central parts of the country,” weather forecaster Simon Dirkse told The Namibian.
Dirkse said the rest of the country will continue to receive light to moderate rainfall during the the course of the week, adding that the widespread rains over the country are caused by the low pressure system to the West of the country and an influx of moisture from the tropics.
