Morning fog patches could reduce visibility in some regions, according to the South African Weather Service.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has warned of morning fog in parts of the Free State and Western Cape.
Strong winds are expected in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape’s coastal areas, as well as isolated rain and showers.
Impact-based warning
Yellow Level 2 warning: Damaging waves resulting in difficulty in navigation at sea, localised disruption of harbours/ports and localised disruptions to beachfront activities are expected between Cape Agulhas and Kosi Bay.
In the SAWS’ colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness.
SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Level 2 is high.
