Cold set to clear

THE chilly weather that has gripped most of the country’s central and southern areas since Sunday is slowly clearing.

A frontal system emanating from the Western Cape had caused temperatures to drop, weather forecaster Gerhard Kaumunika told The Namibian yesterday. He said that the cold front had started to move off yesterday.Kaumunika said although another cold front was expected from tomorrow, set to last until Saturday, this was not expected to lead to icy conditions.”This one is just passing by and will be harmless,” said Kaumunika.On Monday the Weather Bureau warned small stock farmers and flower growers in the central and southern areas to take necessary precautions.He said that the cold front had started to move off yesterday.Kaumunika said although another cold front was expected from tomorrow, set to last until Saturday, this was not expected to lead to icy conditions.”This one is just passing by and will be harmless,” said Kaumunika.On Monday the Weather Bureau warned small stock farmers and flower growers in the central and southern areas to take necessary precautions.
