Yes, rain can hamper mining in Namibia, particularly in the desert climate, due to its potential to cause flooding, damage infrastructure, and impede access to mine sites.Β Recent events, such as a "one-in-fifty-year rainfall event" in March 2025, have shown how heavy rain can shut down operations by soaking ore stockpiles, inundating open pits, damaging roads, and blocking access for equipment and personnel.Β
