The South African Weather Service (Saws) has issued level 4 alerts for the weekend, warning of a cold front making landfall in the Cape provinces before moving to the central regions. Apart from the drop in temperature, snow is also expected in some parts of the country.

While the Cape has experienced extreme cold with damaging gale force winds and higher than average wave heights between Cape Columbine and Cape Agulhas, snowfall of up to 15cm is expected in the Western Cape and the southern high ground of the Northern Cape
