El Niño Climate & Flood Risk Context

Zimbabwe is exceptionally sensitive to El Niño: summer rainfall (November–March) is consistently suppressed, resulting in widespread crop failure, water shortages, and low Kariba hydropower generation. In Gweru, flood risk increases when antecedent soil moisture prevents rainwater from infiltrating, forcing runoff into local municipal drains and river channels.
