The SA Weather Service indicates that the entity is monitoring a cut-off low-pressure system, which will affect multiple parts of the country, including Gauteng.

Here are some ways to keep warm:

1) Wear multiple layers of clothing, then prepare to peel them off when you get into the office

2) Block gaps and air leaks in windows and doors to cut out draughts

3) Hot water bottles are a great way to keep warm and conserve electricity

4) Cuddle up with your pets and make sure they are protected from the cold weather
