Launch of the Climate Change Reference Atlas

“Creating an accessible climate basis for national and local scale climate change impact, adaptation and response planning”

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has developed and released a new CLIMATE CHANGE REFERENCE ATLAS for South Africa on 30 March 2017. This forms part of our World Meteorological Month celebrations as well as the organisation’s vision to create a WeatherSMART nation.

The atlas aims to create an accessible climate basis for national and local scale climate change impacts, adaptation and response planning and addresses general assumptions about climate change in a localised, scientific manner.
