Mozambique: Report shows that cyclones are increasing in number and the winds getting stronger

The number of cyclones that hit Mozambique “has been increasing over the last decade”, as has the intensity of the winds, warns the State of the Climate in Mozambique 2024 report by the Mozambican Meteorological Institute (INAM).

Mozambique is considered one of the most severely affected countries by global climate change. During the rainy season, it experiences cyclical floods and tropical cyclones, as well as prolonged periods of severe drought. The INAM report emphasises that “one consequence of climate change is the increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme weather events”, including intense and prolonged droughts, storms, and tropical cyclones, advocating early warning systems as an “urgent and necessary solution”.
