We know that the weather conditions in the Western Cape have been extreme. With homes flooding, roofs flying away, and the rain poring, and the extreme coldness.

Ecowise talks about Cape Town’s climate unique compared to other regions in Southern Africa, how extreme weather benefit Cape Town’s water supply during drought and how much of climate change is attributed with the extreme rainfalls.
