country such have caused severe floods. Here, a house being surrounded
by flood of stagnate rainwater in Kanyama Township
This was because the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) which was the main rain bringing system would continue oscillating beyond the southern borders of Zambia, allowing moist and unstable Congo airflow over much of the Country for the period 6th to 8th January, 2017.
The department stated that during the same period a low pressure system over Angola would move southwards into northern Botswana and thereby allowing stable and less moist airflow from the South-West to affect Western and Western districts of Southern province.
The department stated that this was intended to reduce rainfall and thundery activities over the areas.
“The period from 9 – 12th January, 2017, the high pressure system from the South East of South Africa will push the ITCZ to the southern borders of Zambia where it will be oscillating about. The Angola low pressure system will also be pushed northwards into Southern and southern districts of Western province. This will enhance rainfall activities over these areas,” the department forecasted.
Can heavy rains stamp out grain borers and army worms?
ideally they should for army worms. its a bit difficult for the stalk borer as it hides inside the growing tip
I LOVE THE MAN WITH THE BABY ON HIS BACK. HE LOOKS VERY FATHERLY AND LOVING. I WISH MORE ZAMBIAN MEN COULD EMULATE HIM. KEEP IT UP REAL FATHER AND HUSBAND.
Only freezing weather can kill it. This is what controls it in the USA.
Im worried that in Africa the fall armyworm has found climatic conditions that will make it thrive throughout the year
imwe it’s not floods caused by heavy rains, it’s floods caused by poor drainage systems bane…
Ignorance at its best!! Drainage or no drainage whats the meaning of floods?
English! Ingnorance at its worst, NOT “at its best”
it’s not floods caused by heavy rains, its floods caused because of terrible drainage systems we have country wide
LUSAKA TIMES WHY HAVE YOU FAILED TO ANNOUNCE THE BEST BLOGGER. WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF. WE DEMAND YOU RELEASE THE RESULTS.

LET ME WARN YOU THAT THE LONGER YOU TAKE TO ANNOUNCE THE MORE CURSES YOU ARE BRINGING ON YOUR FAMILIES AND SHORTENING THEIR LIVES. DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU. Meanwhile as the country floods Lungu is busy travelling and getting allowances for doing nothing while his agricultural minister is been phucked abroad.
LOL – Somebody is going to call for a day of national prayers about these rains as soon as he gets back from ukuseya in Ghana.
I think the Almighty God’s ‘in-basket’ is full of so many contradictory prayer requests he wonders why he gave us brains at all since we don’t use them.
I am not PF and I don’t like PF but from the writing of NEZ, You can tell that this is the dullest Zambian. He cant see the topic at hand, these are the guys who were running away from School. He thinks he is clever but clearly exposing his deep ignorance. I don’t think he even understands what blogging is all about,
I didn’t see your name on the list of nominated candidates for best blogger. So who are you and how can you be more clever than me? Ati you are not pf and yet everyone here knows that you are a pf dog. Go to hell
Rain, rain, go away!
