The city and province of Maputo have been under heavy rain since dawn today, leaving many houses, streets and avenues flooded and impassable.

It's practically a flood scenario in the cities of Maputo and Matola since dawn today. The data is still preliminary, but the damage is almost certainly enormous.

On several avenues in the city, for example, the rain washed away vehicles and water tanks and flooded several streets, leaving several families under water.

Avenida 25 de Setembro, for example, was flooded. Vehicles were submerged in the water.

There are reports that the road link between the cities of Maputo and Matola and the town of Boane, via the N4 and Estrada Velha, has been interrupted due to the heavy rains, according to "Notícias".

The National Meteorological Institute predicts that the rain will continue to fall until tomorrow, but with some reduction, and the weather is expected to improve from Tuesday afternoon onwards.
