Until Saturday there is between a 60 and 80 per cent chance of rain daily. Although no hail has been predicted thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will take place on a daily basis. The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) also warned of the possibility of flash flooding and said that it can take place within minutes or hours of a heavy downpour.
