Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast 25 – 27 October 2021
ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS ON MONDAY 25 OCTOBER VALID UNTIL WEDNESDAY 27 OCTOBER 2021.
Warm and moist winds from the northwest, coupled with a relatively cooler and moist south-easterly airflow resulted in thunderstorms over much of the country with localised heavier downpours in places such as Nyanga (56mm) and Gweru (22mm). However, the south-easterly winds are beginning to weaken, while a cloud band over Botswana is driving moisture into the western parts of the country.
WEATHER FOR TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2021.
In areas along the main watershed and western districts of Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South Province, brief cloudy conditions are expected with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Mild at first becoming hot by midday. Manicaland, Masvingo and southern parts of Matabeleland South should be cool and cloudy at first with patchy morning drizzle becoming less cloudy and warm by afternoon. All other areas (much of Mashonaland West, East and Central) are anticipated to be most sunny hot and humid, becoming mild towards evening.
IMPACTS
• Cool and cloudy conditions in the southern parts of the country may have negative impacts on poultry and some crops as well as the health of persons of an ill disposition, the elderly and young children.
