Rare Snowfall Blankets Johannesburg, Delighting South Africans
TL;DR
Johannesburg, South Africa, experienced its first snowfall in over a decade, delighting residents who took to social media to share their excitement. The snow was caused by an increase in humidity, low temperatures, and wind, but experts cautioned that it was unlikely to last long. While other parts of South Africa receive irregular snowfall, Johannesburg typically sees snow only once every five years. Some residents were frustrated by the sudden change in weather, but experts reassured that it was not due to climate change.
