Warm weather expected across KwaZulu-Natal
'KwaZulu-Natal will experience warmer conditions than much of the country, with cloudy skies and only light winds,' said forecaster Mpho Rasimphi.
This week, the province will remain one of the warmest regions in South Africa.
Night-time weather lows will stay relatively mild compared to the interior, with Durban at 12°C.
'KwaZulu-Natal's overnight temperatures will be comfortable, especially along the coast, where the sea breeze helps maintain warmth,' Rasimphi explained.
Cloud cover will persist into the night, adding to the balmy feel.
The coming days will bring weather, sunshine, and clouds, with isolated showers expected over central inland parts.
'We are seeing a chance of showers moving into KwaZulu-Natal on Friday, especially in the afternoon,' Rasimphi said.
Despite this, temperatures will remain warm, with highs in the mid-20s for much of the province.
