Mozambique registers second cyclone in less than a month

Mozambique’s National Meteorological Institute (INAM) announced it is monitoring tropical storm Dikeledi, expected to enter the Mozambique channel on Sunday, the second in less than a month, following tropical storm Chido in December 2024.

Figures recently updated by the Mozambican authorities show that at least 120 people died and another 868 were injured during the passage of Cyclone Chido in northern and central Mozambique last month. The cyclone also affected 687,630 people, corresponding to 138,037 families, in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula, in the north, and Tete and Sofala, in the center, according to the latest figures from Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction.
