Although the calendar indicates it is wet season, the water flowing over Victoria Falls is no-where near peak. Well... it's not meant to peak until late wet season (March-April) but we are told by the locals that with the world's weather changing, the rains are becoming more unpredictable in southern Africa.

Michael and Rebecca > Victoria Falls in late December - In the wet season (typically October through April), the river discharges as much as 9,100 m³/s (320,000 ft³/s) of water. At this time, the water rolls over the main falls in an unbroken expanse. The dry season may see the falls diminish to just a few narrow cascades, with the spray and mist almost absent and the flow reduced to as little as 350 m³/s (12,500 ft³/s). At this time it is possible to look into the normally obscured depths of the gorge. The level of the river in the gorge varies by up to 20 metres between maximum flow in April and the end of the dry season in October.
