that summer will likely bring above-normal rainfall and higher-than-usual temperatures to most parts of the country.“Seasonal forecast suggests that we might move into a weak La Nina season, which can lead to above normal rainfall for the central and the northeastern parts, covering the Free State, the North West province, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, with above normal rainfall expected for November and December.
“The difference between last year’s spring and summer and this year is that the one we’re anticipating is expected to have above-normal rainfall. However, the temperatures are still expected to be above normal for most parts of the country,” Thobela said.Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Velenkosini Hlabisa said that his department was on high alert for floods, heatwaves, veld fires and droughts.
