Stay indoors wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The use of brazier or open fire, to keep warm, should be done in a well-ventilated room to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Consult local certified health practitioners for better advice on respiratory-related illnesses (e.g. dry coughs, colds and flu or asthma).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Employ frost mitigation measures that suit your particular crop and area.

It is expected to decrease the daytime temperatures of most areas in these two provinces to between 18 and 20 \u00b0 C. On Saturday 24 July, the winds should become south-easterly and relatively moist. This should result in cloudy, drizzly and cold conditions over Manicaland, Masvingo and Matabeleland South Provinces. These gloomy conditions should spread further north by Sunday to cover the southern part of Mashonaland East, southern parts of the Midlands, Bulawayo and Harare Metropolitan Provinces as well. It is anticipated to become warmer and less cloudy by Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><b>More: Pindula News<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
