The South African Weather Service (SAWS) issued its Seasonal Climate Watch — April to August 2023 a few days ago.
El Niño is projected to have its impact as it did in 2015/16 which led the City of Cape Town to almost hit Day Zero with its water supply.
In 2017 the dry conditions also contributed to South Africa’s worst wildfire disaster in Knysna, where more than 700 homes were gutted.
Will we be better prepared this time?
