Cold snap to hit Gauteng
The South African Weather Service has warned of cold weather set to hit parts of Gauteng from Friday.
An intense cold front made landfall in the Western Cape on Thursday morning.
The cold weather is expected to spread to the Eastern Cape in the afternoon as well as parts of KwaZulu-Natal in the evening.
Weather forecaster Lulama Pheme says Gauteng will not be spared.
“A cold front has made landfall this morning over the Western Cape, resulting in rainy and very cold conditions. These conditions are expected to spread to the Eastern Cape during the day and to parts of KwaZulu-Natal in the evening hours, extending into Friday. Widespread rainfall of 15 to 35mm is expected over the southern parts of the Western Cape and the south-western parts of the Eastern Cape.
“Furthermore, snowfall is also expected to spread to the Drakensberg regions of KwaZulu-Natal from Thursday night onwards. The good news is that weather conditions will generally start to improve over the Western Cape during Friday, while cold conditions can be expected to arrive over parts of Mpumalanga and southern Gauteng on this day.”
Warmer weather conditions are expected to return the following week.
