In addition to flood risks from high rainfall in the river catchment areas, Mozambique is prone to tropical cyc lones that travel up the Mozambique Channel, particularly in the period of January to March each year.
"Mozambique's geographical location makes it particularly vulnerable. It is next to the Indian Ocean and is downstream from many of Africa's largest rivers. This, combined with low socioeconomic development, makes the country particularly vulnerable to climate change.
