Reporting carried by Zimbabwe Situation says Chipinge, Chiredzi, Chimanimani and Nyanga may receive thunderstorms, lightning and light rain, while Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South face a higher lightning risk.
Practical safety guidance
Residents were advised to secure loose roofing, trim dangerous branches and avoid sheltering beneath trees or close to poles during lightning. Motorists and people working outside should monitor later official forecasts because conditions can change during the day.
Why it matters
Strong winds can damage homes, crops and infrastructure. The warning is especially useful for families, schools, farmers, transport operators and outdoor workers planning Monday activity.
