Extremely hot and uncomfortable conditions are expected in at least four provinces.
Extremely hot and uncomfortable conditions are expected in parts of the Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Northern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Impact-based warnings
Yellow level 2 warning: Severe thunderstorms resulting in heavy downpours leading to localised flooding of susceptible roads, low-lying areas and bridges, large amounts of small hail, strong damaging winds, and excessive lightning, are expected over the western and central parts of Limpopo, as well as the northern highveld and escarpment of Mpumalanga.
Yellow level 1 warning: Severe thunderstorms resulting in localised flooding of low-lying areas, damage to property and disruption to power supply and or communication, are expected in places over the Inxuba Yethemba and Enoch Mgijima Local Municipalities of the Eastern Cape.
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.
SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and level 4 is low.
Advisories
A heat wave with persistently high temperatures is expected in places over Chris Hani, Joe Gqabi and northern parts of Alfred Nzo Districts Municipalities in the Eastern Cape, until Wednesday.
Hot and humid conditions will result in very uncomfortable conditions over the north-eastern parts of eastern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
Very hot to extremely hot and uncomfortable conditions are expected in places over the Nama-Khoi Local Municipality in the Northern Cape, as well as the Beaufort West Local Municipality in the Western Cape.
