HOW? A significant rise in wind pressure is expected over the

south-east coast of Southern Africa. This is anticipated to
steer a cold and moist southeasterly airflow into Zimbabwe.
Before the clouds set in, anticipate a cold and relatively dry
southerly airflow on Friday 07 June 2024 with moderate
ground frost and early morning temperatures below 3 oC in
frost-prone areas such as Matopos, Gweru, Lupane,
Masvingo, Marondera & Nyanga. From Saturday 08 June
2024, it should become cloudy, windy and cold over
Matabeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces
for much of the day; with light rain and drizzle in places. These
conditions should extend into Bulawayo Metropolitan,
southern parts of Matabeleland North and Midlands as
well as both Harare and Mashonaland East Provinces on
Sunday 09 June 2024 and only become slightly warmer on
Wednesday 12 June 2024 as the clouds break.
