what will the impact of climate change be on southern africa, in particular the eastern part?

Question

What impact will climate change have specifically on the rain fall patterns in Swaziland and southern Mozambique?

Answer 1

It is very hard to predict what the effects of climate change will be. A lot has to do with how winds are affected by rising temperatures. Generally, warmer air hold more moisture, which means that rising temperatures will generally lead to rising rainfall. However, the prevailing winds in that region may shift and carry the moisture elsewhere. There are too many variables to say precisely what will happen.
