Hot Conditions

Conditions in Windhoek have been very hot since Sunday 15 October 2006 thunderstorm which brought over 50 mm in a very short period of time. Temperatures are reaching the mid to high 30 degrees Celsius. There have been rumors that some areas will still reach up to 40 degrees Celsius! It seems the whole of Southern Africa is experiencing very hot conditions with little or no rain activity. Temperatures at 08H00 have been up to 23 degrees Celsius in the mornings. The temperatures on the map are in Fahrenheit. Consumption of large amounts of beer is a must for survival. In general the amount of beer consumed in Namibia is directly proportional to the increase in temperature. So the higher the temperatures the more beer one needs to drink.
