Snow has fallen in Lesotho’s highlands and at places like Afriski Mountain Resort (the main ski area). Key details:
- Overnight June 3–4 and into June 4: Snow fell as forecast, with heavy accumulation reported at Afriski and other high areas. Forecasts pointed to 6–15 cm (roughly 2–6 inches) in a moderate-to-heavy fall, heaviest on the morning of the 4th.
- Lower areas (e.g., around Maseru) saw little to no accumulation, as snow is mostly limited to elevations above ~2,500–3,000 m.
- Additional light snow or showers were possible on the 4th–5th, but the main event was early in the week.
This is typical for Lesotho’s winter (June–August), when the Maloti Mountains get periodic snow, though amounts vary by storm and exact location.
