The expectation that an active cold front would arrive by the weekend was duly fulfilled. Windy conditions brought overnight cold from the Windhoek area southwards and cold days, for the far south again.
Widespread rain was recorded south of the Orange, but only sprinkles fell across our far south and southwest.
What happened?
Weather's squeeze between a lop-sided
winter across the middle and polar latitudes of the southern hemisphere, the
static fringes of the near-tropical belt across our north and, in between the
places with a little bit of influence from north and south, was the measure of
this last week.
