The Meteorological Services Department of Zimbabwe has released a weather report and forecast for the period 05-07 October 2022. Pindula News presents the report and forecast below:

PREAMBLE

ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS ON WEDNESDAY 05 OCTOBER 2022 VALID UNTIL FRIDAY 07 OCTOBER 2022.

Dry weather affecting the country resulted in clear skies over much of the country. Although it was windy, it remained hot. However, brief cloud periods occurred this morning in areas south of the watershed (Beitbridge, West Nicholson through Chiredzi to Chipinge)

All areas are expected to experience sunny and hot conditions with slight haze TOMORROW THURSDAY 06 OCTOBER 2022 though mild in the morning.

IMPACTS

• Strong winds increase the occurrence of veldt fires.

• While land preparations are vital at this stage, those engaged in such on-farm and other outdoor activities are reminded to wear sunhats if they need to be outdoors for prolonged periods of time.

• High temperatures can cause dehydration and other related diseases.

• Windy and dry conditions may affect the body’s health, with common colds, allergies, and hay fever, as well as asthma, being common.

ACTIONS TO TAKE

• Take enough fluids to compensate for water loss through dehydration with medical doctors’ advice.

• Keep warm at night and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially during midday

• Put out any fires found in open veldt fires and road-sides. Do not leave any fire unattended.

• Veld fires are extensive so fanners are expected to construct fire guards that are at least 9 metres wide and free of burning vegetative matter.

• Ensure adequate watering of animals during hot periods to reduce heat-induced stress.
