“Rain and showers are also expected over the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Due to the wind chill factor, temperatures may feel colder than the measured values.”
The advisory listed the following areas in Mpumalanga being expected to be affected:
• Ehlanzeni
• Nkangala

SAWS advised the public and small stock farmers that the very cold, wet and windy conditions may pose a risk to livestock, vulnerable crops and plants.
