Heavy rainfall expected over festive period - press release

Heavy falls of 50mm or more in 24hours period are expected over Ngamiland, Gantsi, Kgalagadi, Southern, South-East, Kgatleng, Kweneng and Northern Central Districts. These heavy rains might lead to possibility of flooding over some areas within the above mentioned Districts.

The anticipated rains will be triggered by a easterly trough which will start affecting the country on the 23rd and further strengthening and intensifying from the 24th to the 26th and culminating into a “cut-off” low pressure system which will inevitably induce intense instability across the country.
