While rains have eased in the past 30 days, flooding remains a problem in the Zambezi-Shire River Basins, as well as in nearby portions of Mozambique. Flood affected countries include: Angola, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique.

While decreased precipitation has allowed for some flood relief, it has led to short-term dryness in southern Mozambique and southern Zimbabwe.

Tropical Cyclone Ivan made landfall in Madagascar during the last week. Rainfall totals in some locations along the central east coast and in mountainous regions exceeded 250 mm. Ivan has not lost as much power as initially expected and will redevelop in the Mozambique Channel. Ivan will then most likely turn south and exit the channel without making landfall.
