Cape Town weather does not look lekker for Mother's Day weekend
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) is the bearer of some bad news ahead of the upcoming weekend - we are in for some stormy weather, Cape Town! A Yellow Level 4 warning has been released by SAWS ahead of anticipated damaging winds and waves in and around Cape Town. According to Sonica Lategan, the City of Cape Town's Disaster Risk Management spokesperson, the strong winds will start on Friday, with heavy rain expected on Saturday. "Potential impacts from the forecast could include uprooted trees, damage to roofs, an increased risk of runaway fires and disruption of coastal activities. We urge residents to secure objects on their properties that could be carried away by the wind, like outside furniture and to be mindful of potential damage to garage doors, sliding doors and windows," Lategan said in a statement on Thursday. "When travelling, please be on the lookout for obstructions on the roadway, like fallen trees or other debris. Any weather-related emergency can be reported to the city's public emergency communications centre on 021 480 7700." The storm is expected to clear by Mother's Day on Sunday, so if you had planned anything outdoors, you may still be able to make those memories with mom. However, we suggest monitoring the weather as the weekend progresses to ensure you will be in the clear... literally.
