Abstract
The coincidence of that part of South Africa experiencing a quasi 20-year-old oscillation in total annual rainfall and the summer rainfall region is demonstrated. Space mean time series (or the region arc synthesised and shown to peak around 1921, 1940 and 1958 with minima around 1911, 1930, 1949 and 1967. The average range of the oscillation is shown to be between 20 and 30 percent of station mean rainfall.Keywords
