Where the forecast comes from
Forecasts come from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway), which runs a free global weather model used by weather apps around the world. Zaku asks for a fresh forecast for each town about every 30 minutes, and the page refreshes itself when you open it.
Temperatures are in degrees Celsius, wind in kilometres per hour and rain in millimetres. A rain figure under an hour means the rain expected in that hour; on the 7-day list it is the total for the day.
For official weather warnings, heavy rain alerts and the seasonal rainfall forecast, follow Malawi’s Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services at metmalawi.gov.mw.
