Risk Indicators
Zimbabwe - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
What does this mean?›
Government advisories are the highest-weighted signal (50%) because they already absorb granular crime, terrorism, kidnapping and political-stability intelligence. A Level 2 (Increased Caution) advisory means there are localised risks — usually petty crime, occasional protests, or health concerns — but most travellers visit without incident.
- Level 1
- Normal precautions
- Level 2
- Increased caution
- Level 3
- Reconsider travel
- Level 4
- Do not travel

22°C · 0 mm rain · 12 km/h wind
What does this mean?›
Open-Meteo gives us live conditions at the capital plus a 3-day forecast. We penalise extremes that disrupt travel: heatwaves, deep cold, sustained gales and heavy rainfall (flood risk). Today at the capital: current 22°C, peaks 22°C, 12 km/h wind, 0 mm rain. Calm seasonal weather scores 95+.
- Temp
- Penalised < -15°C or > 35°C
- Wind
- Storm warning > 40 km/h sustained
- Rain
- Flood risk > 20 mm in 24h
- Forecast
- Looks 3 days ahead at the capital
No WHO outbreak notices
What does this mean?›
Two layers feed this score: WHO Disease Outbreak News (acute risk — ebola, mpox, cholera, marburg, etc.) and Global Health Observatory indicators (PM2.5 air quality, life expectancy) for chronic context. Drivers here: life expectancy 58.5 yrs.
- Outbreaks
- WHO DON keyword matches (ebola, mpox, cholera…)
- PM2.5
- WHO safe limit 5 µg/m³ · penalty > 35
- Life exp.
- Long-run health context
- ≥ 85
- No active outbreaks or chronic risk
Each indicator is rated 0–100 (higher = safer) and combined per the weighted methodology. Tap "See how this was scored" above the hero for the raw API values used in this country's calculation.
