Net toe ons dink dat die reën dié seisoen sukkel om sy pad te vind, trek die sluise van die hemel oop en word somergraanprodusente in die
week van 17 Oktober met die eerste reënneerslae verras. Berigte van tot soveel soos 26 mm is ontvang. Al is die reën later as gewoonlik,
verwag weerkenners steeds ‘n bogemiddelde seisoen.
Just when we thought that the rain was struggling to find its way this season, the heavens opened up and summer grain producers were
surprised with the first rainfall during the week of 17 October. Reports of as much as 26 mm were received. Even though the rain is
later than usual, weather experts still expect an above average season.
