Extremely hot and uncomfortable conditions are expected in parts of the Western Cape.
Extremely hot and uncomfortable conditions are expected in parts of the Western Cape, while thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail, and damaging winds persist in at least six provinces, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Impact-based warning
An orange level 5 warning: Severe thunderstorms associated with heavy downpours leading to flooding of susceptible roads, settlements, low-lying bridges/areas, strong damaging winds, hail and excessive lightning are expected over the lowveld of Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
A yellow level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms with heavy downpours leading to localised flooding of susceptible roads, settlements, low-lying bridges/areas, strong damaging winds, hail and excessive lightning are expected over the escarpment of Mpumalanga and Limpopo, western parts of the North West, extreme eastern parts of the Northern Cape, western and central parts of the Free State, and northern parts of the Eastern Cape.
In the SAWS’s 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.
SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and level 4 is low.

Very hot to extremely hot and uncomfortable conditions are expected over most places except the south coast of the Western Cape.
