Event description

Windy, cloudy, and cooler weather conditions are expected to affect Lusaka Province and parts of Eastern Province from 26th to 27th June 2026. As the system advances, these cool and windy conditions are anticipated to extend to other parts of the country. The strong winds and lower temperatures may cause damage to sensitive crops, including bananas and tomatoes. In addition, the prevailing conditions could worsen respiratory illnesses, particularly among individuals with asthma and other respiratory conditions. These can also be hazardous for users of water transport.

Instructions

Users of water transport are advised to exercise caution, as strong winds may create hazardous conditions on lakes and other water bodies. The general public is encouraged to keep warm and take extra precautions, particularly for vulnerable groups and individuals with respiratory conditions. Farmers are advised to protect sensitive crops and secure loose structures and farming equipment to minimize potential damage from strong winds.
