THE cold temperatures experienced nationwide from Tuesday will persist until today, with the Meteorological Services Department urging the public to take necessary precautions to keep warm.
The department issued an alert this week, saying cold temperatures would be experienced during the night with sunny and warm temperatures during the day.
“Mornings see clear skies in all areas, very cold at first with ground frost in areas such as Gweru, Matopos, Henderson and Lupane, with expected sunny and warm conditions during the day in most areas and overnight cold with calm winds.
“Members of the public and the vulnerable should keep warm to avoid increased chances of catching a cough, influenza, or a cold,” said the Met Department.
“Keep warm and ensure the elderly and young are well dressed for the changes anticipated throughout the day.”
The department also urged the public to take precautions when heating their homes or bedrooms.
“If there is a need to use a brazier (mbaura/imbaula) or fire to keep warm, please ensure the room is well-ventilated,” said the MSD.
The department urged the public to consult health practitioners for any health-related ailments.
