The Meteorological Services Department of Zimbabwe will on Wednesday hold a National Climate Outlook Forum (NACOF), which will provide a platform for sharing information on the forecast for the upcoming rainy season to various stakeholders.
The seasonal outlook is a useful planning tool.
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said the indaba is being convened after the Southern African Regional Climate Outlook Forum (SARCOF), which provides consensus on the seasonal rainfall outlook to the regional stakeholders.
“The SARCOF statement covers large areas, hence the need for the National Climate Outlook Forum for a more detailed forecast and outlook,” she said.
The initial forecast is for normal to above-normal rainfall for the October 2021 to March 2022 period.
