A cloud band that entered the country from the west resulted in cloudy conditions and scattered thunderstorm activity across the country though some areas did not receive rainfall. Notable cumulative amounts recorded were 183mm (Chibero), 106mm (Chisengu), 96mm (Binga), 90mm (Wedza), 77mm (Mukandi), 62mm (Belvedere), 55mm (Henderson), 52mm (Makoholi) and 50mm (Gweru). The rest of the amounts recorded was below 49mm. A north-easterly airflow prevailed across much of the country, while a south-easterly flow dominated in Midlands, Manicaland and Masvingo Provinces. The south-easterly airflow was particularly persistent over Midlands, Manicaland and Masvingo Provinces throughout the week due to a high-pressure system that was over the South east coast of the subcontinent. Morning temperatures remained mild, rising to warm conditions during the afternoon. Conditions remained favourable for vegetation growth across most regions.
