Expect sunny, hazy and hot to very hot weather to continue to Tuesday afternoon, October 1ST.

However, from Tuesday night, 1ST to Sunday 6TH October, 2024 expect windy and cloudy conditions associated with a decrease in temperatures, localized drizzle, locally heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms. This will be due to the influence of a convergence of south easterly and easterly air masses. During this period, Mwera winds are also expected to blow over lake Malawi.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

● Keep cool and hydrated: Drink plenty of water, and avoid spending too much time in the sun.

● Thunderstorms: Stay indoors during thunderstorms to minimise the chances of being struck by lightning. Ensure that your house is sturdy enough to withstand destructive winds.

● Exercise caution: Lake users are advised to take all necessary precautions to avoid loss of life and property due to Mwera winds which might cause dangerous water waves at times.
