If you’re a resident living in Cape Town or anywhere else in the Western Cape, you know that 2018 has kicked off with a tremendous problem that’s even been tailing all the way for the past decade. Only now, all the predictions of no rain, a lack of water and tons of drought, has kicked in and given residents a massive reality check and that is to save as much water they possibly can.
There is no other way around it. Unless by some miracle we fall asleep and wake up with water abundance in our dams, we’re left with a big problem.
While this year started off with some of the hottest months in summer being January and February, many feared the worst and that the mother city would not be able to make it until the winter of 2018, which usually starts around June, just after Autumn.
Entering May, it’s safe to say we have a few rainfall surprises awaiting us when having a look at the forecast and just as well, with all the efforts from Cape Town’s residents, a little extra water will help. It is important to remember that whatever amount of water is saved, as well as winters rainfall, will have to be preserved and enough to carry us through yet another summer that will follow the winter.
Forecasting Rainfall for the Winter of 2018
Rainfall is predicted at the beginning of each annual rainfall season. There are a set of experts who predict what the few months to follow would bring. All their prediction is based on the first few rain showers at the start of winter. While Autumn has graced the soils with a taste of refreshment here and there, who knows what the winter would bring, which could only be accurately predicted at the start of June, with the amount of rainfall captured in April however, May is looking hopeful and so is the predictions some make for the winter months.
