One significant cause of floods in the Limpopo Province is prolonged and heavy rainfall. The region often experiences intense downpours, especially during the summer rainy season or from the remnants of tropical weather systems. When this rainfall exceeds the absorption capacity of the soil and the carrying capacity of rivers and drainage systems, it leads to overflowing rivers and widespread inundation of low-lying areas, resulting in floods.
