At least 31 people have died and 31,413 households have been affected since the onset of Malawi's rainy season in early November, according to Xinxua.
Twenty-two deaths were caused by lightning strikes while nine resulted from structural collapses due to storms, said the country's Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) in its latest update on Tuesday.
The figures represented a sharp increase from 11 deaths and 10,833 affected households in the previous update on Dec. 3.
The total number of injuries also rose from 79 to 382, according to DoDMA.
The figures do not include the casualties caused by Tropical Cyclone Chido in mid-December, which left 13 people dead and 29 injured.
DoDMA, in collaboration with various humanitarian partners, is providing relief assistance to the impacted communities.
