Abstract
The cyclone Idai made landfall on the city of Beira, in the Sofala Provinceof Mozambique, on the 14th March 2019 causing a huge number of fatalities and extensive damage to infrastructures. Most of the damages were caused by extended flooding in the area of Beira due to the concurrence of different meteorological conditions: torrential precipitation over the city of Beira, flooding of the Buzi and Pungwe rivers, and huge storm surges caused by the strong winds and low central pressure characterizing the cyclone. For its location, layout, and socio-economic context, Beira is among the most threatened city by Climate Change all over the world.
The knowledge of climatic conditions that are likely to affect the area in the next decades is fundamental for designing adaptation strategies and actions
