And the department through its Acting Director Edson Nkonde in an interview with Phoenix News has dispelled social media reports that Zambia will in the next few days experience exceptionally cold weather with temperatures reaching as low as 2 degrees Celsius.

Mr. Nkonde has explained that even if it will be cold, it will not be as cold as is been reported.
