• A decrease in temperature affects the body’s health, with common colds, influenza and fever, as well as asthma, being common. It may affect animals (pets and livestock) and plants too.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
• Construct fire guards that are at least 9 metres wide and free from any debris or combustible matter (anything that can burn).
• It is illegal to start veldt fire/uncontrolled burning of open fields.
• Farmers in areas prone to ground frost should undertake frost prevention measures such as overhead irrigation of crops.
• Poultry producers should note that broilers are sensitive to temperature variations and therefore need to be checked regularly and adjustments made.
• Dress appropriately to keep warm and ensure that vulnerable members of society are kept warm.
