The Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) produces weather (forecast) data. It is affiliated to the Ministry of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications. The ZMD holds a database with historical data as current data on temperature, precipitation and other items (see here: https://www.zmd.gov.zm/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63&Itemid=65) The ZMD bundles these data into several services such as Crop Weather Bulletins (presenting precipitation amount in different regions of Zambia) This service is not updated. Also a 7-day weather forecast is provided. However, the forecast describes forecasts verbally and vaguely (slightly clouded, some rain expected). It does neither offer data on temperature, nor on wind speed. The relevant data are therefore not provided online.
