Rainfall amount together with elevation defines how these agricultural regions are described. The Lowveld is the low-lying, hot belt, and it typically receives around 600–700 mm of rain each year. A figure of about 660 mm fits that pattern, so this region is described as Lowveld.

The other areas differ mainly in elevation or rainfall patterns: the Highveld is at higher altitude and cooler, the Lubombo Uplands are elevated and tend to have more rainfall due to orographic effects, and the Middleveld sits in between with its own distinct climate and rainfall range. So the 660 mm figure aligns best with the Lowveld description.
