Iran - A powerful sandstorm has hit Iran's capital, Tehran, killing at least four people and injuring about 30. At its peak, the storm brought winds of up to 110km/hour (70mph), knocking over trees and damaging windows. The sky turned orange from thick dust brought on by the storm. Such strong storms are unusual in Tehran. The storm caused power cuts and traffic accidents from poor visibility as dust and sand engulfed parts of the capital. Some domestic flights to central Iran have been diverted.
Namibia - Floods in the east of the Zambezi Region near Katima Mulilo that have affected schools still persist, defying the norm that would have seen water levels subsiding and flood victims returning to their homes during this time of the year.
