Mostly clear skies and mild afternoon conditions. However, morning and evening are expected to be cold.
The prospects of ground frost are high in the morning along the central watershed and in the Eastern Highlands, especially in wind-sheltered places especially in and around Bulawayo, Chivhu, Gweru, Harare, Henderson, Nyanga, Mukandi, Marondera, Wedza, Belvedere, Masvingo and Matopos.
IMPACTS
- Ground frost is a potential threat to crops such as Beans, Maize, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Melons, Okra, Peppers, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Rosemary, Squash, Sweet Potatoes and Tomatoes.
- Low temperatures, especially in the early hours of the morning have negative impacts on poultry.
- Cold conditions overnight negatively impact vulnerable persons (e.g. the very young, elderly or ill), with abrupt falls in temperatures increasing the risk of respiratory illnesses such as coughs and colds as well as asthma attacks. NB: sharp changes in daytime conditions are projected later this week.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
- To try and minimise frost occurrence, overhead irrigation in the late evenings or early morning hours (before sunrise) is recommended.
- For better advice, please contact your local Agritex Officer.
- Closely monitor the temperatures within fowl-runs and adjust accordingly.
- Keep warm by wearing appropriate winter attire, where possible stay indoors.
- Ensure that vulnerable members of society are kept warm, especially overnight.
- Avoid brazier or open fire to keep warm, in an unventilated room to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Always consult a local certified health practitioner for better advice on respiratory problems (e.g. dry coughs, colds and flu or asthma).
- COVID is still a potential threat, stay safe, mask up, get vaccinated.
