The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has forecast scattered thundershowers in most parts of the country, but with severe thunderstorms in Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Free State.
Impact-based warnings
Yellow level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms are expected over the central to eastern parts of the Northern Cape, northern parts of the Eastern Cape, west to southern parts of KwaZulu-Natal, and most parts of the Free State (apart from the north).
These storms may lead to localised flooding of low-lying areas, roads, and bridges and damage and danger to infrastructure, informal settlements, property, vehicles, and livestock.
In the SAWS’ colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that a higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.
SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
