It’s been a sweltering weekend thus far 🥵 and it’s not going to cool down anytime soon. Here’s the latest heatwave and weather update.
On the bright side, rainfall probabilities of 30% and 60% are predicted from the interior and northeastern parts of South Africa on Monday, 10 October.With excessive heatwave conditions and a high irritability factor, Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi has advised residents to take extra precautions during the scorching weather.
“It’s extremely hot in most parts of the City of Johannesburg. We just want to encourage all our residents throughout the City of Johannesburg to be safe during these extremely hot temperatures. “We remain on high alert so that we can respond to any emergencies which might occur,” Muladuzi said.Just a friendly reminder: Don’t take your pets for walkies during a heatwave. If the tar is too hot for your hands, it’s too hot for your doggo’s paws.
Close the curtains and lay damp towels on the floor to cool them off. Also, set out extra bowls of water, and maybe add a couple of ice cubes for good measure.If you have wildlife in your region – birds, squirrels, and the like – be kind and put out bowls of water for them, too. For bees – because you know, they are endangered and all that – fill a shallow bowl or plate with water and pebbles and place it in the shade for the beezies to enjoy. .
