The City of Windhoek has notified residents to get ready for possible flash floods as the rainy season starts.

The City warns residents that Windhoek's location and weather make it likely to have flash floods, which are a common natural disaster in Namibia during this time.

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.
