Winter has come to Southern Africa



This year winter has come to Southern Africa unusually early. Contrary to ordinary statements about “eternal heat in the countries of this continent, already today in Dragon Mountains on border from Lesotho the first snow has fallen.
According to meteorologists today the average temperature made about zero and in the central province of the country two people become the victims of snow storm. It is not excluded that the winter will start with snowfalls and low temperatures. The winter of the last year which, as well as is necessary in the Southern hemisphere, lasted from May till September, has stood out the most severe for long years.
Weather forecasters promise, that this year the winter can once again surpass all records. However, last months have brought a lot of climatic riddles: the season of rains has stood out extraordinary plentiful and has not come to the end till now, having tightened more than for a month against usual. Till last days the heat was also observed. As a result transition period from summer to the winter has occurred more than sharply - in one day at all without autumn.
