The Windhoek weather bureau yesterday said that mostly cloudy weather will be experienced for the remainder of the week in the western parts of the country.
Tomorrow, skies will clear over the interior, and a repetition of weather patterns from last week will likely mean that the rain will be confined to the north-east of the country, including parts of the Otjozondjupa Region and the Omaheke Region. It will remain cloudy and rainy in the central north, including Ondangwa and Oshakati.
The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy weather for the remainder of the week.
