IMPACTS
- The dry weather and high temperatures being experienced increase the risk of veldt fires.
- The prevailing weather has the effect 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 farmers 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
