The Department of Meteorological Services has warned of extremely hot temperatures countrywide on Saturday and Sunday (October 31 – November 1).

According to a press from the department, temperatures are expected to range between 38-40 degrees Celsius.
 However, there is still a possibility of isolated (30 per cent) thundershowers over the north and eastern parts of the country during this period, says the release.

The department, therefore, advises members of the public to take precautionary measures to protect themselves from adverse weather conditions.

These measures may include among others:

- Drink more water regardless of your activity level.

- Avoid prolonged stay under the sun

- Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or umbrella.

The release says these extremely hot temperature conditions are due to the persistence of hot northerly continental air mass or wind flow. ends
