Heads up, Mbombela — El Niño is here, and it's aiming right at you. As a summer rainfall region, Mpumalanga is forecast to feel this one directly.
South Africa is heading into a hotter, drier summer, with elevated heatwave risk from August through December. This winter's already a preview — daytime temps are running 2–3°C above normal , nights 2–4°C above normal.
What it means for you—less rain, more heat. El Niño can halve summer rainfall over SA, with hotter, drier stretches between rain events.
GlasFit has a simple fix for indoors; window film that can help keep your home liveable.
Window film:
• Blocks solar heat , keeping rooms cooler without relying so heavily on aircon.
• Filters UV rays , protecting furniture and floors.
• Cuts glare on bright days.
• Eases pressure on aircon systems as heat and electricity costs both climb.
It's a small upgrade that can make a big difference this summer.
