El Niño is here but what does that actually mean for South Africa? 🌡️☀️
As we head towards summer, a strong El Niño is developing, with seasonal forecasts pointing to a greater likelihood of above-normal temperatures across much of Southern Africa.
But El Niño isn’t only about hotter days. It can also influence rainfall patterns, with current modelling indicating a growing signal for below-normal rainfall across much of our summer-rainfall region.
For homes and businesses, there’s another practical consideration: as the heat increases, so does the demand placed on air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.
And the first really hot day is not the ideal time to discover that your cooling system needed attention.
Because while we can’t control the forecast, we can prepare for it.
Your aircon doesn’t read weather forecasts. Fortunately, you do.
