IMPACTS
• The decrease of temperatures from warm to cool daytime conditions may affect the health of vulnerable members of society.
• Outdoor activities may need to be planned in line with projected light drizzle and rain, as well as the cooling winds.
• Winds tend to increase the rate of spread of veldt fires, with some becoming uncontrollable.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
• The public is encouraged to safeguard against the spreading of wildfires by constructing fireguards that are maintained free from combustible matter and are at least 5(five) meters wide.
• All farmers are urged to reduce the amount of grass on their farms and residential properties through hay baling, thatch and broom grass harvesting as a fire prevention measure.
• Dress appropriately with the projected fall in temperatures.
• The current Fire danger rating is significant and small fires have the potential to cause uncontrollable veld fires during this period.
