According to the Meteorological Forecasting Services of the National Institute of Meteorology (INAM), the phenomenon, named “Dikeledi”, a name proposed by South Africa, could affect the weather in the provinces of Nampula, Zambézia, and Sofala, with heavy to extreme rain and winds, accompanied by severe thunderstorms, compromising maritime navigation.
Meteorologist Acácio Tembe, from INAM, told “Notícias” that, at the moment, the system has evolved into a tropical depression and is expected to become a tropical storm in the next few hours, reaching cyclone status near eastern Madagascar on Saturday.
