| Cyclone Kenneth has hit Mozambique
The strongest storms to hit mainland Africa (Mozambique) is Violent wind (Cyclone), Kenneth.
Mozambique has been hit by one of the strongest hurricanes to ever make landfall on mainland Africa. Storms in the region appear to be growing stronger as a result of climate change.
So far only a few deaths as a result of the storm have been reported but the worse could yet be to come. Cyclone Kenneth is forecast to slow to a crawl and dump nearly a meter of rain in northern Mozambique in the next few days, which could lead to serious flooding and landslides.
Kenneth has struck just six weeks after another very powerful storm, Cyclone Idai, carved a trail of destruction through Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe, killing more than 1000 people and causing more than £1.5 billion worth of damage. Fortunately, Kenneth has struck a more sparsely populated region and so should cause less devastation.
“It’s official: Cyclone Kenneth is now the strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history in Mozambique – and in the entire African continent,” meteorologist Eric Holthaus claimed on Twitter.
