HEATWAVE TO HIT SOUTHERN AFRICA |
|---|
|
Browsing my way through one of my social media platforms earlier this week, I came across a post in one of the groups that makes me pause for a bit and read. It is a message alerting of a high rise in temperatures across parts of Southern Africa including Zimbabwe and how this threatens to cause harm to human lives. I immediately dismiss this as being a prank and not likely to happen in the near future. But after seeing this same warning message in other media and receiving some personal inboxes from friends, I begin to worry more and indulge in my own research.
A view of one credible international news broadcaster, reading the similar alert in a local newspaper and I am finally convinced. Couold this be what climate-change scholars sometimes warn about as symptoms of the decaying planet? Or is it merely just a natural occurrence which is not related to climate change? The Meteorological Services Department in Zimbabwe also issued a heat wave warning saying different parts of the country will experience high temperatures of between 35 and 45 degrees celsius starting today until next weekend. Daytime temperatures over the country are expected to range between 35 degrees Celsius and 43 degrees celsius peaking to as high as 45 degrees celsius in low lying areas. The temperatures are expected to reduce slightly in the Lowveld, by 2 degrees celsius to 3 degree celsius, on Monday but thereafter should increase again from Friday next week. |

No doubt climate change has a role in this heat wave. I wish the media play a crucial role in warning people for readiness, get prepared well to stay safe during this challenging period.
Take care :) Let us work together for climate mitigation if not adaptation.

The climate change in the current century is severe. There may be several reasons for the same but the effect is there to stay.
WE only have caused it & we must stop it.

According to some news sources , this is partly due to climate change, and partly due to the El Nino event currently taking place in the Pacific Ocean.
Climate Change is impacting all regions and we must, on hand, best prepare ourselves for such extreme conditions and on other hand, we must act in as eco friendly manner as possible to reduce our individual carbon footprint and contributing to reduction in global carbon footprint to mitigate climate change.
