The average temperature in June was 0.4 degrees Celsius above the average temperature between 1991 and 2020.
As Namibia transitions from winter to summer, forecasts indicate a high probability of above-average temperatures in the northeast, coastal and north-central regions from August to October.
According to the latest climate report from the Namibian Meteorological Agency, the average temperature in June was 0.4 degrees Celsius above the average between 1991 and 2020, making it the sixth warmest June in the 14 years on record.
Temperatures exceeded 14 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country, with the highest temperatures in the northwest.
Colder and hotter
“The most notable features were in the southwest and Omahek regions, where temperatures were 1.5C to 2.5C above normal.”
However, “the temperature is lower in the middle of the interior.”
Temperatures were -2 degrees Celsius to 0.5 degrees Celsius below normal in the central and northwestern regions and parts of Ojozondjupa, Oshikoto, Ohangwena and Zambezi regions.
June was above average across much of the world, with Africa, Asia and South America recording their warmest Junes on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The climate bulletin said temperatures are expected to be below normal from August to October in a narrow strip from northwest to southeast Namibia.
Average temperatures from August to October are expected to be between 15°C and 25°C across most of the country, except in the Zambezi region, where average temperatures are expected to be above 27°C.
Dam water level
Meanwhile, the latest NamWater dam bulletin shows that the average water level in dams is 53.4%, compared to 65.9% last year.
The average level of dams supplying Windhoek is 15.6%, with dams in the south at 60.4% and dams in the east at 2.9%.
