Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services has warned people staying on the shores of Lake Malawi to be very alert as they may be hit with flash floods.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for the department, Yobu Kachiwanda, told the media that this will be a result of continuous heavy rains in some parts of the central and northern regions in the coming days but the rains will cease in the southern region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are advising Malawians to be very cautious since rivers are swelling as the country is receiving heavy rains. This will continue and there is a likelihood that districts like Karonga and Nkhata-Bay may experience flash floods. The Shire Valley maybe spared of the rains for the few coming days,\u201d Kachiwanda explained.<\/p>\n
