Matabeleland South, Masvingo, Manicaland, and southern parts of Midlands will experience a decrease in daytime temperatures from Friday this week to Monday next week, the Meteorological Services Department has said.

The department indicated that temperatures in those areas will drop to below 13 degrees celsius and to -10 and -5 degrees celsius in some parts.

“As if to close off winter with a deadly kick of a dying winter horse, a significant strengthening of relatively cool winds from the south-east coast of southern Africa is expected on Thursday evening September 19, 2024,” the department said.

“This should steer a cool and moist south-easterly airflow into Zimbabwe on Friday September 20 and Saturday September 21, resulting in cloudy, windy and cool weather over Matabeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces as well as southern parts of Midlands, with light rain and drizzle in some places.”

The department said there was a likelihood of scattered clouds and mild conditions in Bulawayo Metropolitan, southern parts of Matabelaland North and Midlands, as well as Harare and Mashonaland East Provinces on Sunday.
