Ngokwengxelo yamva nje ekhutshwe yi-African Meteorological Association,Mzantsi Afrikaiye yaba lilizwe elinenani elikhulu lezikhululo zemozulu ezisasazwe kwilizwekazi laseAfrika. Izitishi zokujonga imozulu ezingaphezu kwama-800 zeentlobo ngeentlobo zimiselwe kulo lonke ilizwe, zakha uthungelwano olupheleleyo lokuqokelelwa kwedatha yemozulu eAfrika, zibonelela ngenkxaso ebalulekileyo yokuqikelela imozulu yengingqi kunye nophando lotshintsho lwemozulu.
Inethiwekhi yesizwe yokujonga imeko yezulu imiselwe ngokupheleleyo
I-South African Meteorological Service isandula ukubhengeza ukuba kubekho inkqubela phambili enkulu ekwakhiweni kwenethiwekhi yezikhululo zemozulu ezizenzekelayo zesizwe. “Sifikelele ekugubungeleni ngokupheleleyo izikhululo zemozulu kumaphondo alithoba kulo lonke ilizwe,” utshilo uJohn Best, umlawuli we-South African Meteorological Service. “Idatha yemozulu yexesha langempela enikezelwa zezi zikhululo zemozulu ezizenzekelayo yonyuse ukuchaneka kweziganeko zethu zemozulu ngama-35%, ingakumbi kwizilumkiso zemozulu ezigqithisileyo.”
Izixhobo eziphambili ziphucula ukuchaneka kokubeka esweni
Isizukulwana esitsha sezixhobo zokujonga imozulu eziziswe nguMzantsi Afrika sidibanisa izixhobo zokujonga imozulu ezichanekileyo kwaye zinokujonga izinto ezingaphezu kwamashumi amabini zemozulu ngexesha langempela, ezifana nobushushu, ukufuma, isantya somoya, icala lomoya, imvula kunye nokukhanya kwelanga. “Izixhobo zobungcali zemozulu esizixhobileyo ziquka izixhobo zokujonga ubushushu eziphambili kunye neenkqubo zokufumana izinto zedijithali,” utshilo uNjingalwazi uSarah Van der Waat, umlawuli weMeteorological Institute kwiYunivesithi yaseKapa. “Ezi zixhobo zibonelela ngenkxaso yedatha engazange ibonwe ngaphambili yokujonga imozulu kunye nophando.”
Ukusetyenziswa okuhlukeneyo kuye kwafumana iziphumo ezimangalisayo
Inethiwekhi yezikhululo zemozulu zaseMzantsi Afrika isetyenzisiwe kakhulu kwiindawo ezininzi ezibalulekileyo ezifana nezolimo, ukuhamba ngeenqwelo moya kunye nokuthunyelwa kwempahla. KwiPhondo lasePumalanga, izikhululo zemozulu zezolimo zibonelela abalimi ngeenkonzo ezichanekileyo zokuqikelela imozulu. “Idatha yokubeka esweni imozulu isinceda silungiselele ixesha lokunkcenkceshela ngokufanelekileyo, kwaye isiphumo sokonga amanzi sifikelele kwi-20%,” utshilo umlimi wasekuhlaleni uPeters. KwiZibuko laseDurban, isikhululo sokujonga imozulu sezibuko sinika idatha echanekileyo yemozulu yaselwandle kwiinqanawa ezingena neziphumayo kwizibuko, nto leyo ephucula kakhulu ukhuseleko lokuthunyelwa kwempahla.
Amandla okuthintela nokunciphisa iintlekele aphuculwe kakhulu
Ngokuseka inethiwekhi yokujonga imozulu exineneyo, amandla okulumkisa intlekele eMzantsi Afrika aphuculwe kakhulu. “Simisele inkqubo yokulumkisa intlekele ngemvula kunye nembalela ngokusebenzisa idatha yemozulu yexesha langempela eqokelelwe zizitishi zemozulu ezizenzekelayo,” utshilo uMbeki, ingcali evela kwiZiko leSizwe lokuNcitshiswa kweNtlekele. “Ukujonga imozulu ngokuchanekileyo kusenza sikwazi ukukhupha izilumkiso zentlekele kwiiyure ezingama-72 kwangaphambili, nto leyo enciphisa ngempumelelo ukulahleka kobomi kunye nempahla.”
Intsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe ikhuthaza ukuphuculwa kobuchwepheshe
UMzantsi Afrika ugcina intsebenziswano esondeleyo namaziko ehlabathi afana neWorld Meteorological Organisation kunye neEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, kwaye uqhubeka nokukhuthaza ukuphuculwa kwenethiwekhi yezikhululo zemozulu. “Sisebenzisa isizukulwana esitsha sezixhobo zemozulu, kuquka iinkqubo zokudlulisa idatha yesathelayithi kunye nezixhobo ezisebenza ngelanga,” utshilo uVan Niuk, intloko yeprojekthi yentsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe. “Olu tshintsho luya kwenza izikhululo zethu zokujonga imozulu zibe nobukrelekrele kwaye zihlale ixesha elide.”
Isicwangciso sophuhliso lwexesha elizayo
NgokweSicwangciso soPhuhliso lweMeteorological saseMzantsi Afrika sowama-2024-2028, urhulumente uceba ukongeza izitishi zemozulu ezizenzekelayo ezingama-300, kugxilwe ekuphuculeni amandla okubeka iliso kwiindawo zasemaphandleni nakwiindawo ezikwimida. “Siza kufezekisa ukugubungela ngokupheleleyo ukubeka iliso kwemozulu kuzo zonke iindawo zolawulo zoomasipala kulo lonke ilizwe,” utshilo uJames Molloy, umlawuli wezobuchwepheshe kwiNkonzo yeMeteorological yaseMzantsi Afrika. “Olu thungelwano lukhulu lwezitishi zemozulu luya kuba ngumzekelo wokuhlaziywa kwemozulu eAfrika.”
Iingcali zoshishino zikholelwa ukuba amava aphumeleleyo oMzantsi Afrika ekwakheni izikhululo zemozulu anika iimbekiselo ezibalulekileyo kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika. Njengoko impembelelo yotshintsho lwemozulu isiya isanda, inethiwekhi yokubeka esweni imozulu ephuhliswe kakuhle iya kuba sisiseko esibalulekileyo samazwe ase-Afrika sokujongana nemozulu embi nokuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lokutya.
