AGRICULTURE NEWS - Indications are that higher than normal temperatures can be expected for most parts of South Africa from May to July this year, according to Cobus Olivier, long-term weather forecaster at Weather South Africa.
However, lower than normal maximum temperatures were expected for the south-western half of the country during June, July and August.
“Our forecast show that the chances are good for above normal rainfall conditions over the south-western parts,” he said in Weather SA’s latest long-term weather prediction report.
According to Olivier, rainfall usually decreased across the country during winter except in the southern and Western Cape.
No significant rainfall was thus expected during the forecast period for the central and north-eastern parts of the country.
