The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has released the Seasonal Climate Watch for the period May 2022 to September 2022. According to the multi-model rainfall forecast, most parts of South Africa except for the central and eastern coastal areas in early winter (May, June, July) and the eastern coastal areas during mid-and late-winter (June, July, August and July, August, September) experience below-normal rainfall.
Both maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to be above-normal for most of South Africa, except for parts of the Northern Cape and Eastern Cape where below-normal temperatures are expected.
