Kraaie gaap in Hopefield<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizelle Strydom, kurator van Hopefield se museum, was Saterdag een van talle Weskussers wat foto\u2019s van temperature bo 40 \u00b0<\/span>C op sosiale media geplaas het. Sy het \u2019n foto van \u2019n termometer, wat \u2019n moordende 54 \u00b0<\/span>C by Koperfontein, 6 km buite die dorp gemeet het, op Facebook gedeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit was natuurlik nie die ware, aanvoelbare temperatuur nie, maar die temperatuur wat in die direkte son en op die grond gemeet is. Ek het dit as waarskuwing geplaas sodat mense voorsorg kan tref vir hul diere wat weens die ho\u00eb temperature in gevaar kon wees,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strydom s\u00ea Hopefielders het in hul lugverkoelde huise gaan wegkruip of die dag langs die waaier, met al die gordyne toegetrek, deurgebring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heelwat kinders het in die besoedelde Soutrivier gaan afkoel waar swem glo al jare lank verbied word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Strydom is die water hoogs toksies en nie geskik vir mense om in te swem nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Hopefield-museum het swart-en-wit-foto\u2019s van Hopefielders wat destyds langs die rivier uitspan. In die ou dae het die rivier groot plesier verskaf aan inwoners wat gereeld daar piekniek gehou en geswem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2019n Voorlegging is \u2019n paar jaar gelede aan ons munisipaliteit gegee wat \u2019n rehabilitasieprogram vir die rivier ingesluit het. Niks het tot dusver daarvan gekom nie. \u2019n Skoon rivier sal \u2019n groot aanwins vir die dorp vir toerisme wees, sowel as vir inwoners wat op sulke warm dae wil gaan swem,\u201d het Strydom ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterbuffel koel in swembad af<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amalia van Niekerk, mede-eienaar van die Thali Thali-wildreservaat naby Langebaan, s\u00ea die diere in die reservaat het Saterdag net so warm soos die mense gekry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Waterbuffel het op die oog af s\u00f3 warm gekry dat hy in die swembad by die Van Niekerk-gesin se huis in die reservaat kom afkoel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Niekerk het aan Weslander<\/span> ges\u00ea die diere koel gewoonlik in die dam in die reservaat af, maar af en toe kom maak hulle hulself gemaklik tuis in die swembad by haar huis, of in die swembad by Thali Thali se gewilde restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saterdag was dit egter uitsonderlik warm en volgens Van Niekerk is waterbuffels nie inheems nie, daarom is hulle nie gewoond aan die uiterste hitte van die afgelope naweek nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troeteldiere oorleef hittegolf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Louise Louw Whyte, \u2019n vrywilliger van Langebaan Animal Care, het diereliefhebbers van Langebaan nie geskroom om waaiers te verskaf en Saterdag honde te kom afspons toe sy verlede week na die gemeenskap vir hulp uitgereik het nie. Mense is ook gevra om opblaas-swembaddens vir die diere te bring waarin hulle gedurende Saterdag se hittegolf kon afkoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ou handdoeke is geskenk en natgemaak en op honde geplaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whyte het Maandag almal wat hulp verleen het via Facebook bedank en aangekondig dat al Langebaan Animal Care se diere die hittegolf oorleef het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buitengewoon ho\u00eb seedeinings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die geweldige hitte, wat met \u2019n buitengewoon onstuimige see gepaard gegaan het, het die afgelope naweek die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut (NSRI) by Wes-Kaapse strande laat bontstaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit was egter te verwagte aangesien die NSRI die publiek verlede week reeds teen verwagte ho\u00eb seedeinings en rowwe, onstuimige seetoestande gewaarsku het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die waarskuwing is uitgereik weens die ho\u00eb temperature wat voorspel is, tesame met die rowwe seetoestande as gevolg van \u2019n onlangse storm in die Suidelike oseaan en die onlangse volmaan-Springgety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog voordat die hittegolf Saterdag toegeslaan het, het inwoners van die Weskus foto\u2019s van besonder ho\u00eb seedeinings by St. Helenabaai, Laaiplek en Dwarskersbos op plaaslike Facebook-bladsye geplaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saterdag het rowwe waters by Langebaan ook daartoe gelei dat drie swemmers in die moeilikheid beland het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitteverwante noodgevalle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryke Pearson, bemarkings- en kommunikasie-ko\u00f6rdineerder by die Life Weskus- private hospitaal in Vredenburg, het Woensdag aan Weslander <\/i>ges\u00ea ten spyte van die erge hitte is geen hittevervante noodgevalle of sonsteekgevalle die afgelope naweek by die hospitaal aangemeld nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog warm dae kom; tref voorsorg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Februarie en Maart is die Weskus se warmste twee maande en nog erge warm dae kan verwag woord voordat herfs aanbreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hier is \u2019n paar wenke om veilig en koel in die hitte te bly: .<\/span> Drink genoeg water,.<\/span> maak seker babas, bejaardes en kinders bly goed gehidreer,.<\/span> onthou om jou troeteldiere op \u2019n koel plek met skoon water te hou,.<\/span> probeer om uit direkte sonlig te bly,.<\/span> dra gepaste klere en maak seker dat jy sonskerm gebruik,.<\/span> beperk deelname aan buitemuurse aktiwiteite,.<\/span> as jy tyd in \u2019n swembad gaan deurbring, verseker jou veiligheid en di\u00e9 van kinders rondom jou, en laastens,.<\/span> moet nooit kinders en troeteldiere in \u2019n warm voertuig los nie, selfs al word \u2019n venster oopgelaat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
