Windhoek and Rehoboth are expected to record minimum temperatures of 5⁰C and 4⁰C and maximum temperatures of 21⁰C and 22⁰C respectively on Thursday.
Namibia Meteorological Services said it will be mild to warm in the rest of the country’s interior, with moderate south-westerly and south-easterly winds.
The coast will be partly cloudy, with fog patches.
Henties Bay, !Nami#nus, Oranjemund, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay are expected to experience minimum temperatures ranging between 10⁰C to 13⁰C and maximum temperatures ranging between 19⁰C to 24⁰C.
Thursday’s weather prediction will be quite a contrast to the cold conditions experienced earlier in the week. These cold weather conditions were also appreciated by many who took to social media to share their amazement with a few photos. One of these photos, which was shared by Bettina Gunther on Facebook, shows the cold front set in over the Pro-Namib and Desert, South of Sossusvlei and Maltahöhe.
