The spending focus over the medium term will be on air quality management and providing for the country's ability to more accurately predict significant changes in weather patterns. Over the medium term, expenditure is expected to increase due to the transfer of the SAWS from the previous programme 2 to this programme, and an additional allocation of R50 million for high performance computers to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting. The relocation of the South African Weather Service to this programme also accounts for the projected increase in expenditure on transfers to departmental agencies and accounts for the medium term.
