Impact-based warning
Yellow Level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms leading to localised flooding of susceptible roads, low-lying areas or bridges, as well as localised damage to settlements over open areas, are expected over the northeastern parts of the Northern Cape.
Yellow Level 4 warning: Disruptive rainfall resulting in flooding of roads and settlements (formal and informal) and major disruption of traffic flow due to major roads being flooded or closed is expected over most parts of KwaZulu-Natal except in the northeast.
Yellow Level 2 warning: Disruptive rain resulting in heavy downpours, which will lead to flooding of susceptible areas, roads and bridges, localised damage to properties and temporal disruptions of municipal services, is expected over the southern parts of Mpumalanga.
