Another Perfect Storm hits Maputo: 23 and 24 March saw another perfect storm hit Maputo. Once again, Mother Nature unleashed fury on Maputo. I have been present through one of these amazing storms. You can read that story on The Sardine News here.
That storm also came out of nowhere. This one was similar. And following in the wake of Cyclone Filipo’s record speed run across Mozambique, Filipo left a huge low pressure hovering over southern Mozambique and Mpumalanga in South Africa. This moisture-rich air simply unloaded its entire payload. Over an 84-hour solid rain period.
Maputo lives on a drainage system built in the Portuguese era. That was a very long time ago. And with the population explosion in Maputo since the 70s, the infrastructure cannot cope.
This is the result…
Explanation
Over to Duarte to explain…
Basically it’s a massive low-pressure system that has moved in after Filipo and affecting the whole of southern Mozambique mostly with massive rains and mostly in the Maputo area where it rained very intensely for like 84 hours straight and seeing the drainage system is what everyone knows to be it´s just gone crazy and lots of damage, schools are closed, etc etc and hopefully this will not chain up into a cholera outbreak…
Up in Bazaruto we have had a on and off rain but not intense but windy and jus miserable weather at the moment – I have clients here for a week now and only managed to fish a few hours during two days in very messy sea, water still very murky due to debris from Filipo and recent thundershowers and obviously not a great bite with such a low-pressure system.
This low-pressure system which is called Invest 95S was said, a few days ago that, could potentially turn into a cyclone but it has not but still lurking around although conditions have improved last few days but forecast of rain, overcast weather and wind up until the 6th of April.
A further cyclone as developed over the last few days in the Indian Ocean although still very far from Africa´s East coast, this category 1 cyclone as been named Neville and we are watching it with hawk eyes!
It’s a major @#$%^& up…. This poor country does not need all this shit bro!
