The Western Cape Department of Local Government & Environment says the province can expect higher than normal winter rainfall this year.

MEC Anton Bredell says the province has already experienced good rainfall figures, with a severe storm that recently hit the Overberg.

According to Bredell’s spokesperson, James-Brent Styan this indicates that this year’s winter could possibly be wetter than usual.

Styan says the province’s dam levels are currently up to 20% higher than last year.
