Inhambane

Inhambane is a southern coastal province in Mozambique. It is newsworthy due to recent severe weather events. Cyclone Gezani struck Inhambane in February 2026, causing at least four deaths and likely significant damage. This occurred a day after the same cyclone devastated Madagascar. The province is also affected by widespread flooding across Southern Africa during the current rainy season, contributing to a regional crisis that has displaced hundreds of thousands and caused over 100 deaths across Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The ongoing rains exacerbate the situation, highlighting Inhambane's vulnerability to extreme weather and the broader impact of climate change on Southern Africa.
