Abstract

The movement of the lower level westerly waves over southern Africa and its inuuence on Intertropical Convergence Zone over central Africa has been examined. The daily fluctuations in the intensity and northward displacement of ITCZ have been found to be associated with the passage of the lower level frontal systems. The southern edge of ITCZ becomes weak when two westerly waves move across South Africa in quick succession. This results in a spell of very little rainfall over Zambia.
