description From the turn of the century, Zimbabwe has been experiencing unprecedented adverse effects of climate change-linked environmental disasters largely through cyclone-related floods, El Nino-related droughts and heat waves. In the year 2000 for example, the devastating cyclone Eline that swept across Zimbabwe resulted in some very arid areas in Matebeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland receiving uncharacteristically high rainfall.
