Insecure home roofs, schools and shopping centres could be blown off by strong winds while asbestos roofing could be perforated by hailstones in some instances, potentially endangering occupants.

The 2019/2020 rainy season is coming at a time when the country has been ravaged by a drought that killed over 110 elephants at Hwange National Park and over 9000 cattle in some parts of the country.
