Gauteng to experience cold conditions and patchy rainfall
Gauteng residents can expect cold conditions and a chance of isolated thundershowers this week, as weather systems bring shifting patterns to the region. Forecaster Mduduzi Mthembu says partly cloudy skies will dominate over the central interior of South Africa, including Gauteng. 'This will result in cooler air flowing over the interior, particularly across the Highveld,' he said. Morning fog patches are expected in many areas, especially in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, the eastern Free State and southern interior regions. These will clear up during the day, but Gauteng should prepare for another round of isolated rainfall and possible thundershowers in the afternoon. 'Later in the day, isolated thunderstorms could develop over the central interior and may spread northwards,' Mthembu noted. Overnight temperatures across Gauteng will remain typical for this time of year. The province can expect lows averaging 6°C, with maximum temperatures rising to around 18°C tomorrow in Johannesburg and Pretoria. The cold conditions are expected to persist into midweek.

WEATHER: Brutal cold front to slam Gauteng, bringing heavy rainfall
Early indications suggest that an intense cold front could impact Gauteng and parts of South Africa starting next week. For the most part, July has been relatively warmer than June in Gauteng, Limpopo, North West, and Mpumalanga. Two cold fronts affected these provinces in June, bringing subzero temperatures in some areas, especially during the mornings. According to AccuWeather , temperatures are expected to drop significantly on Monday as the cold front approaches Gauteng, with rain also predicted. The cold front will reach the province on Monday, causing Johannesburg to have a maximum temperature of 11°C. On Tuesday, the 'City of Gold' will experience another chilly day, with a maximum of 12°C. In Pretoria, temperatures will drop to 13°C, with a 60% chance of rain. Conditions are expected to improve starting next Wednesday as temperatures gradually rise into the high teens. Looking ahead to this week, forecast models suggest that cool to warm weather will dominate Gauteng before the cold front settles in. For many years in South Africa, the last week of July has been known as the coldest time of the year. Many residents of Gauteng have been enjoying the mild temperatures over the past two weeks, with peaks around 20 degrees Celsius in most areas. However, early forecasts suggest that this could be the harshest cold front of the year. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
