1) Heavy and above-average rains over the past few weeks have increased rainfall surpluses and resulted in flooding across the Omusati region along the Angola-Namibian border.

Moderate to heavy rains are forecast to continue during the next week, which could trigger new flooding and exacerbate conditions on the ground.
