The Chief Meteorological Forecaster at the Namibia Meteorological Service Odillo Kgobetsi has cautioned about potential risks of flash floods and lightning due in the coming days, particularly for the Kavango and Zambezi regions.

Kgobetsi urged farmers to take necessary precautions to protect their small livestock and crops from adverse weather conditions.

Kgobetsi shares insights on the improvement of the rainfall outlook.

"We could say that in the next two to three days, the outlooks for the rains over the northern areas are improving, so meaning that there's a lot of moisture drifting in, low-pressure systems are working well for Namibia, it's a deep blow pressure systems over the country and the next two-three days we will see that there will be a bit of clearance over the north-west as well as over the Southern part of the country but as we go by Wednesday, Thursday then we can see that the moisture starts drifting back again towards Namibia. From the east, rains will still continue over the northern-eastern part over the next two days but what we are expecting is that from Wednesday, Thursday going to Friday, we'll see that shift of movement again of the rain bolden shifting over the country, there's a likelihood of heavy falls that are going to take place. Heavy falls are in place over the Zambezi, Kavango for the next two days but what happens the next three days by Wednesday and Thursday, we'll see the moisture drifting to the central north."

Meteorological Technician at the Namibia Meteorological Services, Beata Iipinge, says rainfall patterns have changed during the previous years, and the current rainy season prompts an evaluation of rainfall prospects among the general public.

She further alluded that thorough climate and data analysis is expected to be concluded on December 31, which will determine how this year's rainfall differs from past seasonal trends.

Iipinge encouraged farmers to harvest and plough despite the impact of climate change resulting in irregular rainfall patterns.

"I cannot say it's very late but that's the situation that is on the ground now, do have to harvest if the crops are ready, especially now that people are using those drought-resistant crops, so we cannot say if it's early or late, it's okay."
