Impacts

Impact-wise, the dry and windy conditions increase the risk of veldt fires. The prevailing sunny weather enhances evapotranspiration. Hot daytime conditions may cause dehydration and heat-related illnesses. It’s important to take precautions, such as wearing a sunhat, sunscreen, or using an umbrella to protect yourself from direct sunlight, especially between 09:00 am to 03:00 pm. Accumulated heat inside parked cars can be harmful, so avoid leaving children inside vehicles.
