The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has warned of heavy rain which may lead to flooding in parts of KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and the Free State.
Impact-based warnings
- Yellow Level 4: Expect disruptive rainfall along the coast and over the northern parts of KwaZulu-Natal and southern Mpumalanga. Heavy downpours may lead to flooding on roads and settlements and cause damage to infrastructure.
- Yellow Level 2: Severe thunderstorms with strong winds, hail and heavy rain are expected in Mpumalanga, the extreme south-eastern parts of Gauteng, the eastern Free State and parts of KwaZulu-Natal. These could cause localised flooding and damage to property and roads.
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.
Advisories
Very cold conditions will prevail over the eastern interior of the Eastern Cape on Wednesday. Keep warm and take precautions if travelling.
