FROM ALL ACCOUNTS, the intense 1997-98 c impacted most regions in the world shown to be historically sensitive to these events following text-book rules. South Africa appears to be the exception. The original forecast gave a 77% chance of catastrophic drought for the past summer in Southern Africa (Farmers Weekly, April 17 1998). The impact, turned out, was mixed. Three-quarters of South Africa experienced drought while the eastern part had 40% more rain that normal! The South Coast lies between the western winter rainfall region of the country and the eastern summer rainfall region.
