Cool day expected in Gauteng and morning fog
Gauteng will experience a cool day on Tuesday, with light showers possible in some areas and patches of morning fog expected to reduce visibility. Forecaster Mpho Rasimphi said cooler conditions will dominate the province. 'Johannesburg will see a high of 20°C to 21°C, while Pretoria remains slightly warmer,' Rasimphi explained. Motorists are urged to take extra caution during the early morning hours, especially in fog-prone areas. Rasimphi noted that reduced visibility could impact traffic flow on key routes. 'Where fog patches occur, visibility will be significantly reduced in the morning, so please be careful, especially for those travelling early,' Rasimphi said. Overnight temperatures will remain low, with chilly mornings expected throughout the week. The freezing conditions seen in other provinces will not extend into Gauteng, but residents should still prepare for cool mornings. Some light showers are expected over parts of the province, particularly in areas bordering Mpumalanga. Rasimphi said rainfall will not be widespread. 'We are looking at a 30% chance of showers in parts of the province, but much of Gauteng will remain dry,' he explained. While parts of Limpopo and Mpumalanga are forecast to experience drizzle and fog, Gauteng's conditions will remain relatively stable, with afternoon sunshine breaking through the clouds in some areas.
