Africa Seasonal forecast (Nov 2019 > Jan 2020)

The team at Columbia University will be updating this seasonal forecast on Nov 15. I will have to check the rainfall data in our area for Oct. but the last forecast indicated a drier period than normal for the month. I think that’s what the data will bear out.

But for the period Nov > Jan from this forecast predicts above normal temps and above normal rainfall for our area. We will see how this plays out. We have been experiencing more than normal high winds for the past few days.

Further north of us it’s predicted to be warmer and drier.

At the same time we have a Antarctic Sudden Warming event playing out which is impacting parts of Australia.

“The Bureau of Meterology is predicting the strongest Antarctic warming on record, likely to exceed the previous record of September 2002.“
