Thursday will be a rainy day with damaging winds, hail and potential flooding, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS)

Impact-based warnings

- Yellow Level 2 warning for disruptive rainfall in the extreme north-eastern parts of KwaZulu-Natal. Expect potential localised flooding.

- Yellow Level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms accompanied by damaging winds, small hail, and heavy rainfall on the Mpumalanga Highveld, Gauteng, and north-eastern parts of the North West. Possible flooding and damage to properties and infrastructure in these areas are expected.

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.
