Expect cool to warm weather with some rain tomorrow

Only minor weather warnings have been issued for Wednesday. South Africans can expect cool to warm conditions with isolated showers and thundershowers.

Weather warnings, 13 November

In its latest regional forecast, the SA Weather Service (Saws) issued a yellow level 2 warning for disruptive rain resulting in localised flooding of susceptible roads and bridges, settlements and low-lying areas due to heavy downpours over the extreme north-eastern parts of Limpopo.

It also issued a yellow level 1 warning for severe thunderstorms resulting in flooding of roads, damage to property and infrastructure due to strong winds and hail over the central parts of Limpopo.

A yellow level 1 warning was issued for damaging winds resulting in difficulty in navigation at sea for small vessels and personal watercraft (e.g. kayaks) which may lead to vessels taking on water and at risk of capsising in locality. Localised disruption of small harbours and localised disruption to beachfront activities are also likely to occur between Alexander Bay and Cape Point.

Extreme Fire danger condition are expected in places over the Dawid Kruiper, Kai Igarib and Kamiesberg Municipalities in the Northern Cape as well as Matzikama Municipality in the Western Cape.
