The South African Weather Services (SAWS) plays an important role in mitigating the impacts of severe weather, natural disasters and climate-related challenges, and its success in mitigating the impacts of Cyclone Eloise this year was mainly the result of its progress in the 2020/21 financial year to change to impact-based weather forecasting. This was indicated by Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy, during a virtual seminar marking the 2021 World Meteorology Day (WMD) on March 23.
