A cross-country cloudy weather condition is expected to bring rainfall while the southern half of #Zambia is being controlled by relatively moist & stable winds from the southeast, giving rise to partly cloudy weather conditions with a slight chance of isolated showers.

The Inter-tropical Convergence Zone is positioned over the northern borders of #Zambia, confining rainfall activities to the extreme northern parts. The high pressure system centered over Botswana is inducing winds from the southeast thereby further reducing rainfall over Zambia.

At #AUSummit, António Guterres calls for greater global #ClimateAction & commends "Africa’s longstanding moral & political leadership on the climate emergency." Read inspiring story about UNDP Zambia support building resilience for small-scale farmers: undp-adaptation.exposure.co/fighting-extre…
