Spring time and jacaranda trees blooming in Windhoek, Namibia, southern Africa - video

#Jacaranda #Windhoek #Namibia

Seasons and weather in Namibia can be confusing. There is a meme about daily temperature in Namibia:

“Welcome to Namibia.

Winter is at 6 am. Spring starts at 10 am. Summer is at 2 pm, and Autumn around 5:30ish. Please dress accordingly!” It is very true that when packing for your holiday in Namibia, you need to prepare for all eventualities. While it can be very hot in the summer, often reaching 40 degrees, it can also cool down considerably when it rains. And although our winters are mild and sunny, we can experience both hot days and frost – occasionally both within the same week! Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring Namibia doesn’t really experience the typical three-month seasons of the northern hemisphere. Summer is long, running from October to March (6 months). This is followed by a short Autumn from April to May (2 months), although most leaves drop from deciduous trees only from late May. Winter is relatively short, beginning in earnest in June, and usually ending in August (3 months). Then September constitutes a very brief Spring (1 month). Inland versus Atlantic coast Temperatures also vary across the country. Inland areas and more northern parts of the country tend to be milder than the southern and western desert areas. And then the coast of Namibia has a climate all of its own: Dependent on the cool Benguela current coming up from Antarctica, the Namibian coast is persistently cool, and often misty or cloudy. But beware, even on overcast days at the coast, it is still possible to become sunburnt very quickly. Rainfall in Namibia Rainfall in Namibia is normally limited to the summer months of October to March, sometimes extending into April and early May. The heaviest rains fall from January to March. Rainfall also varies across the country from south-west (lowest rainfall) to north-east (highest rainfall). The large majority of the rain falls in the evening and at night, so don’t let it put you off visiting us in the summer months! Hopefully all of the above helps you both with your packing, and also to help you choose when to go to Namibia.

The mall's management had signs up announcing the temporary closure of the centre's ground floor, apologising for the inconvenience.
Those who travel to and from Windhoek city centre by taxi were left stranded as some routes were completely flooded, making them impossible to cross. Many commuters were still waiting for taxis at 19h00 on 14 December evening. Two vehicle accident scenes were observed at different corners in the city, while some traffic lights were out of order. At Windhoek's informal settlements, leaking roofs and soaked beds were the order of the day. Some families slept outside in the rain. At Rocky Crest, some residents returned from work to find their apartments with no roofs. Two apartment roofs in particular were completely blown off. A resident yesterday said the three-bedroom apartments were worth about N$1,3 million. A body corporate member who was present at the complex said they were about to start with repairs. 14 December flash floods were unprecedented, with 88 mm and 100 mm recorded in some areas.
