Weather guys claim they're right 88% of the time now. The acting boss of the Tanzania Meteorological Authority, Dr. Ladislaus Chang'a, dropped that number in Dar es Salaam during a TV interview on TBC1. He said their forecasts hit that mark because they spent big on new tech and hired real experts. Their work is apparently so solid that the World Meteorological Organization lets them help other countries, like South Sudan, Burundi, and Namibia, with their own weather services.
This comes with a major warning about serious rain. The authority put out a statement listing a ton of regions that should expect heavy and possibly dangerous downpours. The list covers Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Manyara, Kigoma, Katavi, Singida, Dodoma, Rukwa, Songwe, Mbeya, Iringa, Njombe, Morogoro, Ruvuma, Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Lindi, Mtwara, Pwani, and Mafia Island. That is basically most of the country.
Chang'a is telling everyone to keep checking the agency's official updates. He pushed the idea that their high accuracy rate makes them the only source people should trust for reliable info. The whole point is to get folks to pay attention before the bad weather hits all those places.
