Government through the Ministry of Education has temporarily suspended classes in schools in the Southern Region from today due to bad weather.

This follows continuous rains in the region which has led to flash floods and destruction of property.

In response, the ministry has called for a suspension of lessons and advised boarding schools to enforce the staying indoors measures.

As of yesterday, the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services announced the occurrence of Moderate Tropical Storm Ana which will likely enter Malawi through Zomba, Mulanje and Phalombe districts.

The department said the storm is currently in the Mozambique Channel where it is expected to make landfall on Mozambique east coast and is moving at a speed of 40km/hour and a wind speed of 100km/hour.
