Malawi Issues Early Warning Advisory On Cyclone Chalane

The Department Of Climate Change and Meteorological Services would like to inform the Malawi nation that Tropical Cyclone Chalane that formed to the east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean is now at a distance of about 2,000 kilometers away from Malawi as of Friday 25th December, 2020 moving at a speed 15 kilometers per hour with accompanying winds of 100 kilometers per hour.

Weather models are indicating that Tropical Cyclone Chalane is expected to cross Madagascar and enter the Mozambique Channel waters on Monday 28 December 2020.

The Tropical Cyclone Chalane is expected to land on the Mozambique soil on Wednesday 30th December 2020 near Quelimane, a coastal town north of Beira. Thereafter, the Tropical Cyclone is expected to proceed and reach southern Malawi on the same day where it is likely to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall that will likely cause flooding in the south, central and lakeshore areas.
