Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Principal Meteorologist at the Department of Meteorology, Ms Kelebemang Maswe says this winter above normal temperatures are expected over most parts of Botswana.<\/b><\/p>\n

In an interview on Tuesday, Ms Maswe said a relatively warm winter was expected in the country, saying the months of May, June and July will experience a \u2018not-so cold\u2019 winter.<\/p>\n

Ms Maswe highlighted that a transition from El Nino to ENSO-neutral was likely by April \u2013June 2024 adding that there was 83 per cent chance with increasing odds of La Nina developing in June until August by 62 per cent.<\/p>\n

However, she said cold spells will be experienced from time to time due to local intra-seasonal variations.<\/p>\n

Breaking it by regions, Ms Maswe said the Ngamiland, Chobe and the northern parts of the Central District will experience above normal temperatures.<\/p>\n

She said the normal maximum and minimum for those regions will range from 27.4 to 9 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n

She said for the North East, southern parts of central districts and northern parts of Kgatleng District will experience a normal maximum and minimum temperatures from 24.0 to 7 degrees Celsius respectively.<\/p>\n

She stated that normal maximum and minimum temperatures for Kgalagadi, Ghanzi, Southern, Southeast, Kweneng and Southern parts of Kgatleng Districts will also be at 23.6 and 5 degrees Celsius respectively.<\/p>\n

Ms Maswe advised Batswana to dress according to the climate change, pointing out that it was better to carry a jacket than to be exposed to the cold that might cause flu.<\/p>\n
