Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has said isolated showers, drizzle, and rain which were experienced in some parts of the country on Tuesday will continue this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Herald, MSD head of forecasting James Ngoma said the late rains experienced yesterday were normal and came towards the end of the rainy season.<\/p>\n

He said the wet spell emanated from a cloud band that was passing across the country from Botswana, but by Thursday, \u201cnormal\u201d conditions should prevail. Said Ngoma:<\/p>\n

We had a cloud band that was passing across the country from Botswana.<\/p>\n

This gave us cloudy conditions over much of the country with isolated showers in a number of areas coupled with a bit of lightning and thunder, but this is very seasonal and comes towards the end of the rainy season.<\/p>\n

We are expecting cooler conditions over the south and this should give us rain and a bit of drizzle over Matabeleland South and Masvingo provinces, as well as southern parts of the Midlands and Manicaland and parts of Mashonaland East as of tomorrow (today), but as we get into Thursday, we are expecting normal conditions over these areas.<\/p>\n

The MSD has advised members of the public to keep hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water.<\/p>\n

In a weather update, the Met Department said if there is a need to stay outdoors for a prolonged period, people should ensure to wear a sunhat or sunscreen and that the young, persons who are ill, and the elderly are adequately dressed both day and night.<\/p>\n
