Seasonal climate watch: May to September 2021
[{“type”:”text”,”content”:”The multi-model rainfall forecast indicates mostly above-normal rainfall during early-, mid- and late-winter seasons (May-Jun-Jul, Jun-Jul-Aug, Jul-Aug-Sep). Above-normal rainfall is indicated in early-winter for the important winter rainfall region of the southwestern part of Western Cape, although the outlook for rainfall remains uncertain for the remainder of the winter season.n nAbove-normal minimum and maximum temperatures are expected across the country. Climatologically, the inland provinces are not typically associated with much rainfall at all in the winter months. The prospect of a forecast for above-normal rainfall over these regions is therefore not likely to be particularly significant.nnThe South African Weather Service will continue to monitor and provide updates on any future assessments that may provide more clarity on the current expectations for the coming seasons.”,”position”:0,”id”:”qYgexFetVHkkB7S3″}]
