The past weekend’s rainfall did not disappoint, with a number of regions receiving significant showers.
Windhoek was among the areas that benefited most from the rainfall. The capital not only received generous showers, but parts of the city were also hit by heavy hail. Eros, in particular, experienced a notable hailstorm. Other central areas, such as Farm Onverwacht near Dordabis, which received 25mm of rain and hail on Saturday, as well as Farm Vaalgras, also enjoyed heavy showers over the weekend.
Several other places across the country, stretching from the north to the south, also received substantial rainfall.
