This chapter is designed to illustrate Zimbabwe's climate over the past century, project trends and sketch possible future scenarios on the basis of present weather patterns. For easier interpretation, only rainfall and temperature are discussed. Recommendations are then made for agriculturists and water resource decision-makers which are relevant for short and long-term planning.
