Severe thunderstorms are expected in parts of the country, bringing heavy rain, flooding, strong winds, and hail, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Impact-based warnings:
Yellow Level 4 warning: Severe thunderstorms are expected over the Free State, eastern parts of the Northern Cape, and western parts of the North West. These storms may lead to heavy downpours, causing flooding of roads, settlements, and low-lying bridges, as well as excessive lightning and strong, damaging winds, and large amounts of small or large hail in populated areas.
Yellow Level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms are expected over the Eastern Cape (excluding the south coast and adjacent interior) and the western parts of KwaZulu-Natal. These storms may result in localised flooding of roads, settlements, and low-lying areas, as well as excessive lightning, strong and damaging winds, and large amounts of small or large hail.
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.
