Impact-based warnings

Yellow level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms are expected over North West, Gauteng, the Free State, the highveld of Mpumalanga, southwestern Limpopo, northeastern Northern Cape, and extreme western KwaZulu-Natal. These could bring heavy downpours, damaging winds, hail, and lightning.

Yellow level 1 warning: Damaging winds between Cape Columbine and Cape Agulhas may cause difficulties at sea and risks for small vessels. This will persist from this evening until Friday afternoon.

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.

The SAWS uses numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
