Severe thunderstorms are forecast in parts of the North West and Limpopo, while scorching conditions will persist in the Northern Cape and Western Cape, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Impact-based warnings
Yellow level 1: Severe thunderstorms leading to heavy downpours, localised flooding of susceptible roads, low-lying areas and bridges, large amounts of small hail, as well as strong and damaging winds are expected over the north-eastern parts of the North West and western parts of Limpopo.
In the SAWS’ colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.
The SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
Advisories
Very hot to extremely hot and uncomfortable weather conditions are expected in the Kamiesberg Municipality (Northern Cape) and West Coast District (Western Cape).
