In a weather report and forecast seen by Pindula News, MSD said it expects heavy downpours in some parts of the country on Wednesday. Reads a report and forecast for the period 17 -19 December 2022:<\/p>\n<p>PREAMBLE<\/p>\n<p>The current cloud system over Zimbabwe resulted in thunderstorms that covered the whole country yesterday into early morning today. Localised strong winds and heavy falls were experienced in some places. Rainfall amounts in excess of 30mm were measured at Denny farm in Gwanda (64mm), Kariba (35mm), Victoria Falls (34mm) and Tsholotsho (33mm).<\/p>\n<p>Thunderstorms are expected country-wide with scattered heavy downpours in areas along and to the south of the central watershed. Strong winds and hailstorms remain highly probable with these thunderstorms. Temperatures should remain in a warm category during the day and winds are expected to be northerly which should continue to advect more moisture into the country from Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>Localised downpours are probable in places. Lightning is a major threat during this part of the year, being inherent in thundershowers. Strong winds may blow off roofs and damage property.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Avoid crossing flooded rivers or swollen streams where water is above your ankles, just a 30 cm depth of flowing water can sweep away large vehicles. Wait for the water to recede before attempting to cross.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Heavy rains may reduce visibility; if driving, please find somewhere safe to park till the rains subside.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 When thunder roars, go indoors. Where possible, stay indoors during thunderstorms.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Note that lightning can strike from a large distance;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Avoid contact with water or metal objects including farming equipment when lightning is visible, even from a distance. Umbrellas are not safe during storms, raincoats are better, best is to be indoors.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Do not hide under a tree or isolated shed during a thunderstorm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Insure crops against adverse weather such as hailstorms and flash flood damage<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Be Weather-ready; always plan with the weather in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The areas to the north-eastern parts of the country, namely Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland East, Harare Metropolitan, and northern parts of Manicaland Provinces, should experience thunderstorms that could be accompanied by strong winds, hailstorms and isolated heavy rainfalls. In the remaining areas, the cloudy system is anticipated to start weakening though brief cloudy periods and showers are possible in some places.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
