Climatic change in southern Africa over the last two millennia will be reviewed. Atmospheric processes and circulation changes modulating recent climatic change in the region will be considered. Present-day drought conditions will be modelled from sea-surface temperature variations. Finally, the most up-to-date general circulation model simulations of possible future equilibrium and transient changes of climate over southern Africa arising out of greenhouse warming over the next 50 years or so will be presented.
