Showers are expected in northern and western parts of the country, while central and southern areas will enjoy mostly dry, sunny spells.

Drivers, pedestrians, and farmers should remain alert and plan activities around possible showers, while those in urban centres should be cautious of localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Zimbabweans can expect continuing warmth with scattered thundershowers over the next few days, particularly in northern and western regions, while southern and eastern regions will see more consistent sunshine with occasional light rain.
Actions to Take in These Weather Conditions:
- Seek shelter in a safe building during thunderstorms.
