'It is difficult to say in advance exactly how much rain will fall, but models estimate between 15mm and 25mm for Gauteng.'
Botha said there was a chance of rain and thundershowers right through next week for northeastern South Africa.There is a slight chance of rain next week. But it is very unlikely after the first heatwave this week which saw Gauteng recording maximum temperatures of up to 36°C early this month.
“There is a dominating high-pressure system in the upper air. The high-pressure system forces warm air towards the earth’s surface and prevents the air near the earth’s surface from escaping,” she explained. Botha said it was considered a heatwave when the predicted maximum temperature of the day was 5°C or higher than the average temperature of the hottest month of the year.
“Currently, we have fluctuating rain patterns and a late-season drought. Farmers are wondering if they should start planting after the first rains or wait to see if we get the drought,” he said.Ramokgopa clears ‘confusion’ on hot weather and load shedding comments
