Will your maize last to the next harvest?
Count what is in your store against what your household eats, and see whether it reaches the June harvest — plus how big the gap is, months before it arrives.
Store your maize, or sell now?
Work through whether holding your harvest for the lean season could beat selling now — the price it would need to fetch, the weight you'd lose in store, and the break-even, in plain arithmetic.
Rain & wet-season outlook
Where the one rainy season stands: the last 30 days against the 30-year average and the week ahead — what it means for floods, the harvest and the taps.
Who to call
Verified numbers for police, water and health in Mzuzu — and honest notes where a service publishes no working contact.
Common questions
Straight answers about water rationing, power cuts, flood-prone wards, the markets and getting around — sourced, and honest about what could not be verified.
