PREAMBLE

FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, THURSDAY 16 MARCH 2023,

IMPACTS

  • Rain may affect outdoor activities
  • Even when skies seem clear overhead, lightning remains a threat, as thunderstorm clouds may be near.
  • Poultry producers should note that broilers are sensitive to temperature variations.

ACTIONS TO TAKE

  • Avoid parking your vehicle under or near trees as tree branches/or entire tree trunks may fall.
  • Avoid crossing rivers or streams on foot or in a vehicle; just 30cm depth of flowing water can sweep away large vehicles & bridges might have been washed away. Wait for the rain/flood water to subside.
  • When lightning is visible or thunder audible, go indoors and avoid contact with water or metal objects.

WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR FRIDAY 17 MARCH 2023

The extreme northern parts of Matabeleland North (Binga District), extreme northern parts of Midlands (Gokwe North and South), Harare Metropolitan, northern parts of Manicaland and all Mashonaland Provinces should be mostly cloudy and warm conditions with isolated thunderstorms; though mild both morning and evening.

Masvingo and southern districts of Manicaland are anticipated to be briefly cloudy and mild at first becoming mostly sunny and warm by mid-morning.

Much of Matabeleland North, Midlands, Bulawayo Metropolitan and Matabeleland South is expected to be mostly sunny and warm by day, becoming mild towards evening.
