There is also a risk of localised heavy rain and incidents of flash flooding in KZN on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Gauteng will still remain fairly warm on Wednesday. We expect Johannesburg and Vereeniging to go down to about 26 degrees and Pretoria to about 28 degrees. On Thursday we expect the cold front to move through the northeastern parts of the country,” adds Engelbert.
He says the cold weather should clear by Friday.
