Get out your blankets, another cold front is heading our way
JOBURG – Very cold temperatures are expected to hit Johannesburg by 12 June.
It’s time to get our your blankets again as a cold front is set to hit Gauteng by 12 June.
The South African Weather Service said in a statement that a cold front hit the Western Cape on 11 June and was expected to move towards Gauteng by 12 June.
The service said an intense cold front which would be supported by a steep upper air trough would bring strong winds, rain and
showers to the western areas of the Western and Northern Cape. The front is then expected to move towards Gauteng, Mpumalanga and some parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
“These cold temperatures will spread further eastwards, reaching the entire Northern Cape, Free State, North West
province, Gauteng, southern highveld in Mpumalanga and parts of KwaZulu-Natal on 12 June, persisting on 13 June. The temperatures will start improving from 14 June. Severe frost is possible over the Free State, southern North West and in places over the Northern Cape from Friday until 15 June.”
In Johannesburg, the temperature is expected to be 10°C from 12 June, with a low of -2°C. The temperatures are expected to remain low over the weekend and will begin to increase from 15 June.
