ABSTRACT In February 2000, southern Mozambique experienced severe floods related to the passage of two tropical cyclones. An analysis is conducted of the historical context, structure and prediction of flooding during the summer season (December to March) when tropical cyclones are present. Observations indicate that local sea surface temperatures and maximum daily rainfall have increased more than 1°C and 100mm/day respectively, over the past hundred years. A statistical model is developed to enable the prediction of flood risk many months in advance.
