Tropical storm heading straight for Namibia
A DEEP low-pressure system currently situated over Namibia combined with tropical storm Chalane bearing down on the country from the east will see heavy downpours occurring over large parts of the country over the next few days.
The tropical storm has already made landfall in Mozambique on Monday and in Zimbabwe, flood warnings have been issued.
Moist air over central Africa is being drawn down over Namibia by the deep low-pressure system that is drawing the tropical storm in a westerly direction which is also contributing even more moisture that could accumulate and fall in the form of rain over large parts of the country.
