Latest seasonal forecast available - March 2019

Posted on March 12, 2019

The latest seasonal forecast for March continues to predict a weak El Niño. Although weak El Niño conditions are present, the rainfall forecasts for autumn do not show a typical El Niño-type rainfall pattern of mainly below-normal rainfall totals. Enhanced probabilities for favourable rainfall outcomes are predicted over the southern and southwestern Cape areas for the larger part of the forecast period. Mainly cool (warm) maximum temperatures at first, replaced by predominantly high (low) maximum temperatures over the summer (winter) rainfall region.For more on the seasonal forecast click here.
