Event Description
A significant strengthening of relatively cool winds, from the south-east coast of Southern Africa, is expected on Thursday evening 19 September 2024. This should steer a cool and moist south-easterly airflow into Zimbabwe on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 September 2024, resulting in cloudy, windy and cool weather over Matabeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces as well as southern part of the Midlands; with light rain and drizzle in places.
Instructions
Keep warm, if there is need to use a brazier or fire to keep warm while indoor, ensure the room is well ventilated. Consult your local certified health practitioner/doctor for all health related issues that may arise due to significant temperature fluctuations.
