RESIDENTS of coastal towns have crowded all public beaches to escape from the searing heatwave that is currently sweeping down from Namibia’s hinterland.
Temperatures as high as 41 degrees Celsius have been reported and many people are looking to cool down in the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The berg wind conditions or east weather as it is more commonly known, have been raising temperatures for the past week and are set to continue on well into the new week.
At least one incident of drowning has occurred over the weekend and the public has been urged to take all necessary precautions to prevent more such tragedies while spending their time at the beach.
Are you cooling down at the beach today? Please share your beach pictures in the comments below.
