Bringing the science to the global stage! 🌊🔬 SAWS's Dr. Ramontsheng Rapolaki & Dr. Nosipho Zwane are at the G20 Climate and Environment Sustainability Working Group Meeting (CTICC) sharing critical expertise on Marine Research and the latest Climate Change data.
The South African Weather Service has forecast a sharp drop in temperatures across eight provinces—excluding Limpopo—and it’s already taking effect in the Eastern Cape. Barkly East is among the hardest hit, with sub-zero temperatures and snowfall expected overnight. #Newzroom405’s @yemavumisa reports from the ground on how residents and farmers are preparing for the icy conditions.
Highlights from the #Ocean20 outreach in Mbombela
Dr Ramontsheng Rapolaki presented on how oceans significantly influence extreme weather events in Mbombela. An understanding of these connections is crucial for effective weather prediction & disaster preparedness.#G20SouthAfrica
