Tropical cyclones in Southern Africa

At least 30 tropical cyclones have affected the Southern African mainland. Three southeastern African countries border the Indian Ocean – Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa. Other inland countries also experience the effects of tropical cyclones, including Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

1900s

  • February 15, 1950 - After crossing Madagascar, a cyclone struck eastern Mozambique and moved across much of Africa, eventually reaching northern Namibia.[3][4]
  • April 15, 1952 - A cyclone moved ashore southeastern Tanzania near Lindi with maximum sustained winds estimated at 180 km/h (110 mph); this made the cyclone the strongest on record to strike the country.[5] The cyclone left 34 fatalities in Tanzania.[1][2]
  • January 28, 1984 - Tropical Storm Domoina struck southeastern Mozambique, and later crossed into Swaziland and eastern South Africa. In Mozambique, Domoina killed 109 people and caused about $75 million in damage. Rainfall in Swaziland reached 906 mm (35.7 in) at Piggs Peak. Damage in the country totaled $54 million, with 73 deaths. In South Africa, rainfall peaked at 950 mm (37 in, causing 100 year floods along the Umfolozi River. The Pongola River altered its course after the storm. Flooding caused the Pongolapoort Dam to reach 87% of its capacity; when waters were released to maintain the structural integrity, additional flooding occurred in Mozambique, forcing thousands to evacuate. Across South Africa, the storm caused 60 deaths and damaged the properties of 500,000 people, causing R100 million (1984 ZAR, $70 million 1984 USD).[nb 1][7][8][9][10][11]
  • February 19, 1984 - Tropical Storm Imboa looped off the east coast of South Africa, causing flooding and killing four people in the country.[12][9]

  • January 3, 2000 - A tropical depression, previously Tropical Storm Astride, struck northeastern Mozambique and produced rainfall as far inland as Malawi.[13]
  • February 22, 2000 - Cyclone Eline moved ashore near Beira, Mozambique. Exasperating previous floods, the cyclone produced the country's worst natural disaster in a century. Water levels along the Limpopo River reached as high as 11 m (36 ft) above normal and 15 km (9.3 mi) wide.[14][15] The combined effects of the preceding floods and Eline left about 300,000 people homeless,[16] about 700 deaths, and damage estimated at $500 million (2000 USD).[13] The cyclone and the floods disrupted much of the economic progress Mozambique had made in the 1990s since the end of its civil war.[17] Eline also killed 21 people in South Africa, where damage reached at least US$300 million.[13][18] In Zimbabwe, Eline washed away transportation infrastructure and killed 12 people.[19][20] Heavy rainfall occurred as far inland as Namibia.[21]
  • March 8, 2000 - Rains from former Tropical Storm Gloria disrupted aid distribution in Mozambique following Eline's deadly landfall two weeks prior.[22]

The storm dropped heavy rainfall, reaching 281 mm (11.1 in) in Nampula. The rains caused flooding that damaged or destroyed more than 20,000 houses. Delfina killed 47 people in Mozambique and eight in neighboring Malawi.[28][29][30][31]
  • March 2, 2003 - Cyclone Japhet struck Mozambique near Vilankulo, where wind gusts reached 105 km/h (65 mph). Across the country, Japhet damaged or destroyed 25,000 houses, killing 17 people.[32][33][34] There was another eight deaths in neighboring Zambia.[35]
