The Metrological Services Department of Zimbabwe (MSD) has issued a stern warning to the public that the country is expecting a cold spell from Friday to next week Wednesday.
“A significant rise in wind pressure is expected over the south-east coast of Southern Africa. This is anticipated to steer a cold and moist south-easterly airflow into Zimbabwe. Before the clouds set in, anticipate a cold and relatively dry southerly airflow on Friday 7 June 2024 with moderate ground frost and early morning temperatures below three degrees Celsius in frost-prone areas such as Matopos, Gweru, Lupane, Masvingo, Marondera and Nyanga”.
The notice said, “From Saturday 8 June 2024, it should become cloudy, windy and cold over Matabeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces for much of the day; with light rain and drizzle in places, these conditions should extend into Bulawayo Metropolitan, southern parts of Matabeleland North and Midlands as well as both Harare and Mashonaland East Provinces on Sunday 9 June 2024 and only become slightly warmer on Wednesday 12 June 2024 as the clouds break”.
The Met Department further called on the nation to dress warmly and ensure vulnerable members of society are kept warm.
“If a fire or brazier is used to keep warm, ensure the room is well-ventilated. Drink hot beverages whenever possible to keep warm. For best advice in health-related matters please consult your local doctor or health practitioner,” reads the notice.
