Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare said Namibia could consider reviving cloud-seeding experiments, but any decision would have to be guided by scientific evidence and environmental considerations.

Cold, wet and windy weather conditions are expected for the southern parts of the country this week. 

Weather forecaster Albertina Anderson said a slow-moving low-pressure weather system has made landfall in the south. 

The residents of Keetmanshoop have welcomed the cold and rainy weather conditions experienced at the southern town, appreciating the much-needed rain as a blessing.

Reporter Luqman Cloete took to the streets to hear from the residents how they experienced the cold weather.

Most dams across Namibia show little change in capacity despite recent rainfall.

Swakoppoort Dam stands at 83% capacity, and Von Bach at 81.2%. Goreangab remains nearly full at 100.5%, down slightly from 100.8% last week.

Otjivero Main Dam holds 36%, Tilda Viljoen 64.1%, and Dan Viljoen 66.6%.

Consistent rainfall in Rundu has led to soil erosion in parts of the Tutungeni location.

Kavango East Governor Hamunyera Hambyuka has called for urgent solutions to prevent further damage.

Rainfall during the Christmas week was quite intense across much of the Oshana, Ohangwena, Kavango East and West, and Zambezi regions, which mostly experienced scattered showers accompanied by flash flooding.

Dam water levels have increased across key dams following recent rainfall in catchment areas.

Updated figures by Namwater indicate a positive response to recent precipitation with Swakoppoort Dam, which saw its water levels rise by 0.796 million cubic metres.

Given prospects of good rainfall, President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has said discussions are on to ensure that schools in floodplain areas do not close during the rainy season.

Schools such as Onghala, Ohaingu, Oudjobala and Shingunguma would need urgent intervention to avoid their temporary closures. 

The Governor of Omaheke has urged farmers in the region to take advantage of the good rains and increase their crop production for future use.
