Snow warning: Drakensberg sees light snowfall today

Some rain is also expected

The next snow system is expected from today (August 9), as reported by Snow Report.

Snow was expected to fall in the north of Lesotho, mainly in the Maluti Mountains (Afriski area), during the early hours of this morning.

By sunrise today, light snow fell across the Drakensberg from the north to the south, mainly on the Lesotho side, with some flurries possibly moving into the southern KZN areas north of Kokstad and around Matatiele in the Eastern Cape.

The Eastern Cape Drakensberg should also have snow by this time.

All of these areas have the potential to keep snowing for most of today, on and off, and some rain is also expected.

Tonight, falls are expected to intensify in Lesotho and the Eastern Cape Drakensberg, with up to 20cm being possible in central Lesotho.

Barkley East and Lady Grey should also get a dusting.

These falls are expected to carry on until Friday morning, with possible snow entering further south in the Eastern Cape over places like Hogsback, the Amatola Mountains and possibly even as far inland as the Sneeuberge outside Graaff-Reinet during Friday.

By late Friday night, all snowfalls should cease.
