A Yellow Level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms resulting in localised flooding and damage to infrastructure, settlements, vehicles, and danger to life are expected in places over the eastern half of the Eastern Cape.
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.
