African-storm-2Now that summer is on it's way here on UmPhafa it means the arrival of one of the defining features of our continent "The African Storm'. 

Brought on by high temperatures, it brings much needed rain for our animals and vegetation. Huge lightning bolts light up the skies followed by tremendous rumbles of thunder. Days that follow turn our dry dusty land to a beautiful lush green. You can feel the change as new life appears all around
