Severe thunderstorms and heavy downpours are expected in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, while isolated showers and warm temperatures are forecast for most of the country, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Impact-based warning
Yellow Level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms resulting in heavy downpours causing localised flooding of susceptible areas and roads, strong damaging winds (falling trees), large amounts of small hail and injuries due to lightning over central and south-western Limpopo as well as the northern Highveld of Mpumalanga.
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.
SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
