In Zimbabwe, or Africa in general, extreme weather is symbolic and is not seen as some natural change of weather or what we commonly refer to as climate change. It is entrenched with a deeper meaning and can be used to shed light on a message from the ancestors, for example drought in a particular area can be seen as a sign that the spirits or ancestors or even God is angry about something thus punishes the area by delaying the rains. In a scientific setting, extreme weather can be loosely described as a significant deviation of a particular weather element from the norm which usually negatively impacts the people and the environment. Now, basing with the above lines of thought, considering also that Zimbabwe is generally an agrarian country, it means the majority of citizens is directly affected by the extreme changes of weather patterns. This is driven by the logic that, most of the people’s sources of revenue, balanced diet, maintenance and provision of basic needs are dependent on the performance and pricing of their agricultural produce as well as livestock. Droughts, floods, cyclones and heatwaves are all examples of extreme weather elements that have occurred in Zimbabwe and claimed a number of people’s lives, destroyed plants and livestock. Such drastic events also precipitate a number of disease outbreaks and also leads to a sharp increase of prices of basic commodities such as wheat, maize and tomatoes. This has led to food insecurity in many parts of the country with the available produce being way beyond the reach of many in terms of affordability. Cyclone Idai which hit the eastern side of Zimbabwe claimed hundreds of lives, destroyed infrastructure and resulted in hundreds having to be resettled elsewhere. Examples of extreme weather events that have hit Zimbabwe are endless however one thing that is clear is that there is need for urgent measures to be put in place and those that exist to be scaled up so as to be at par with mitigating and adapting to climate change. In the urban setting, there is need to promote green technology and design in the construction and renovation of infrastructure. In the same vein, throughout the country there is great need to introduce, educate, scale up smart agriculture systems and also promote the use of renewable energy. Tracking of such drastic weather events can also help plan and ensure solutions put in place are resilient and ensure the welfare of the current citizens is prioritized as well as that of generations to come.
