"Rains associated with the cloud bands of the Tropical System Eloise should start of on the southern parts of Manicaland province as early as Friday evening 22 January 2021".

The Meteorological Services Department noted that the Moderate Tropical Storm Eloise is now in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel a position that draws moisture from the southern parts of Zimbabwe. "During the past 24 hours it has intensified significantly, given the very warm ocean waters (sea surface temperature (SST) close to 30°C ) of the Mozambique Channel, which provide an abundant source of energy to drive the system", said SAWS.

MSD warned as a result of the heavy rains huts, houses, utility poles and trees or branches could collapse.

SAWS warns that there is a severe risk (Orange Alert Level 9) for disruptive rain affecting Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality, Greater Giyani Municipality and Maruleng. "We're expecting maximum winds to go up to about 90 knots, which is 180km/h sustained winds".
