It should be cold with clear skies in the morning giving chances of ground frost in frost susceptible areas namely Masvingo, Gweru, Henderson, Marondera and Nyanga. In the afternoon, mild conditions with light winds are anticipated.
Very cold southerly airflow is expected into the country by the end of the day due to the high-pressure system which will be centred over southwestern parts of South Africa.
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.
