Usually, it also ensures rainy conditions to the west of the country. These regions might receive rain by the end of February or the beginning of March.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A well-known South African climatologist, Johan van den Berg, reported that there is currently a large cloud of precipitation that stretches over Botswana and settles es over Southern Africa, and more speci\ufb01cally, the northeastern parts of South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The chances of rain in the western parts of Southern Africa, including Namibia, do not look favourable in the short term, especially in the central to southern parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, the statement noted that it appears that conditions in the northern and northeastern regions may improve over the weekend. In the medium term, approximately around 15 or 16 February, it looks like a heavy rainstorm will fall in the northeast of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, there should be rainfall across the eastern parts of Namibia in the latter part of February. The weather conditions in the central to southern areas should also improve during the later stages of the month.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":300906,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
