The expected warmer conditions from the previous forecast have also subsided somewhat, which may be further evidence of wetter conditions in these periods, forecaster Cobus Olivier said.
The latest forecasts would be a relief to the agricultural value chain, which is still recovering from the effects of the 2015-16 drought.
"Uncertainty of these forecasts remains a concern, however, since factors such as the possible development of a La Niña phase - increased chances of wetter conditions - have not yet strongly manifested, and this usually casts doubt on the accuracy of the forecasting systems," Olivier said.
