The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has issued a warning that Matebeleland South, Masvingo, Manicaland, and the southern areas of the Midlands will experience a substantial drop in daytime temperatures beginning this Friday.
The cooler weather is anticipated to last until Monday, with temperatures in these regions potentially decreasing to as low as 13 degrees Celsius.
Some areas could even see extreme temperature drops ranging from -5 to -10 degrees Celsius.
In a colorful statement, the MSD likened the oncoming cold to “a deadly kick of a dying winter horse,” as it forecasted the arrival of significantly cooler winds from the south-eastern coast of southern Africa on Thursday evening.
This weather pattern is expected to usher in a cool and moist south-easterly airflow into Zimbabwe starting Friday, September 20, and lasting through Saturday, September 21, resulting in cloudy, windy, and cool conditions across the affected regions, with the possibility of light rain and drizzle in certain areas.
Meanwhile, the department predicts milder conditions with scattered clouds for places like Bulawayo Metropolitan, southern parts of Matebeleland North and Midlands, and Harare and Mashonaland East provinces on Sunday.
Residents are urged to brace themselves for these chilly conditions, particularly in the southern regions, where temperature drops are expected over the weekend.
