The overnight clearance of clouds over the southern half of the country, namely Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, southern areas of Midlands, Masvingo and Manicaland led to cool morning conditions with most areas below 15°C. The rest of the day was mostly sunny and warm over these areas However, moisture still present over Matabeleland North, Mashonaland West and Mashonaland Central led to partly cloudy and mild morning conditions. This moisture is slowly spreading further into the country, while cool south-easterly winds are slowly strengthening and flowing from the southeast coast of Southern Africa.

Matabeleland North, all Mashonaland Provinces, Harare Metropolitan, Midlands and Bulawayo Metropolitan Provinces as well as the northern parts of Matabeleland South (Bulilima, Mangwe and Matobo Districts) are to expect brief cloudy periods and isolated thundershowers.
