Cold spell to persist: MSD

H-Metro Reporter

THE Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has warned of a rain-bearing cloud that will cause light rains and windy conditions from this evening until Saturday.

In an advisory on Monday, the MSD said intermittent light rain, cold, windy and cloudy conditions, including hailstones in localised areas over higher ground, were expected.

However, no record-breaking low temperatures are expected. 

“A low-pressure system in the rain-inducing levels of the atmosphere, meteorologically referred to as a cut-off low, is developing over Zimbabwe,” said MSD.

“It is expected to draw in and circulate moisture within its proximity.

“This should be coupled with relatively cold south-easterly winds on the southeast coast of Southern Africa.”
