Description:Malaria is among the greatest public health threats in Mozambique, with over 10 million cases reported annually since 2018. Although the relationship between seasonal trends in environmental parameters and malaria cases is well established, the role of climate in deviations from the annual cycle is less clear. To investigate this and the potential for leveraging inter-annual climate variability to predict malaria outbreaks, weekly district-level malaria incidence spanning 2010–2017 were processed for a cross-analysis with climate data. An empirical orthogonal function analysis of district-level malaria incidence revealed two dominant spatiotemporal modes that collectively account for 81% of the inter-
