It�s not winter yet

Yesterday, Meteorological Services Department director, Thabang Botsoma told Mmegi that fluctuating temperatures were normal in autumn, the season Botswana is in currently, and should not be confused with the onset of winter.

Botsoma said that autumn is characterised by fluctuating temperatures, which do not have any correlation to the time winter will arrive. Popular beliefs suggest that chillier temperatures after the rain season have a bearing on the arrival, duration and harshness of winter.
