The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has released the seasonal forecast for the summer 2019/20 in South Africa. The SAWS seasonal prediction system indicates enhanced probabilities of below-normal rainfall over the far eastern parts of the country, while above-normal rainfall is predicted to be more likely for the western to central parts of South Africa (November 2019 - January 2020).

Likewise, higher than normal temperatures are expected this summer. 

According to the SAWS other prediction centres, such as the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (USA) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (EU), prognose for this summer season 2019/20 even higher and more widespread probabilities of below-normal rainfall and above-normal temperatures over southern Africa compared to the SAWS forecast, in particular for the mid-summer period.
