Winter is still with us
Today, many Namibians will wake up to chilly conditions but temperatures are set to rise over the weekend, although they will remain cool in the early morning hours.
Yesterday, the Namibia Meteorological Service warned Namibians to expect “very cold conditions” in the early morning today, especially over the interior.
While it will be cold at first, temperatures are expected to rise in most regions to fine and cold, and then to mild.
Warm and hot conditions are expected in many parts of the northern regions.
“Very cold conditions will persist in the early morning over the interior today. Daytime temperatures will rise slightly in the Hardap, Khomas and northern regions,” said Odillo Kgobetsi, chief meteorological technician for forecasting at the Windhoek weather office.
Today's expected lows are expected to be between one and three degrees in the //Karas Region, one to four degrees in Khomas and about two degrees in the Omaheke Region.
The Hardap Region is expected to record low temperatures of between four and five degrees.
Minimum temperatures in the northern regions will be between one and eight degrees, Kgobetsi said.
Daytime temperatures will rise to between 16 and 17 degrees in //Karas, and 25 in Omaheke.
In the Khomas Region, highs of 24 degrees are expected, with the north reaching between 25 and 30 degrees.
On Saturday, minimum temperatures will still be low in the southern and central areas and the days will be mild.
However, Namibians should get ready for another drop in temperatures next Tuesday, Kgobetsi warned.
“The next significant system in the weather will be setting in from 22 August. It is an upper-air low-pressure that will result in more cloudiness and slight cooling in the west, central, north, and eastern parts of Namibia.”
He said some parts of the country can expect possible showers next week.
