PREAMBLE

ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS ON SATURDAY 01 OCTOBER 2022 VALID UNTIL MONDAY 03 OCTOBER 2022.

Most of the country experienced cool to mild weather this morning. It was hot in the afternoon, with a northerly breeze. The skies were mostly clear, but haze prevailed across the country.

FORECAST FOR TOMORROW SUNDAY 02 OCTOBER 2022

The dry conditions are expected to persist. It should be cool to mild in the morning in most parts of the country. In the afternoon, it is expected to be hot and hazy.

IMPACTS

• The dry weather and high temperatures being experienced increase the risk of veldt fires.

• The prevailing weather has the effects of increasing evapotranspiration rates.

• Hot conditions may cause dehydration and heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat rash.

• Accumulation of heat in places such as inside parked cars and other vehicles may affect passengers.

ACTIONS TO TAKE

• Veld fires are extensive so fanners are expected to construct fire guards that are at least 9 metres wide and free of burning vegetative matter; put out any fires found in open veldt fires and road-sides. Do not leave any fire unattended.

• Farmers are advised to adjust irrigation management accordingly; using plenty of mulch to retain moisture can help to cool the plants, especially during the day; the best time to irrigate can be early in the morning or in the evening. Farmers can also resort to farming practices such as shade cloths to shade their crops.

• Take enough fluids to compensate for water loss through dehydration with medical doctors’ advice.

• Do Not Leave Children in Cars: Cars can quickly heat up to dangerous temperatures, even with a window cracked open
