Warm weather blankets most of KwaZulu-Natal TODAY
The inland regions will be slightly cooler, especially over areas like Mooi River, where freezing morning temperatures kicked off the day. But the warm weather will settle in most of the province by midday.
Winds that swept across the interior parts have now moved towards the KwaZulu-Natal coast. While they bring a fresh breeze to areas like Richards Bay, the winds are not strong enough to disrupt the pleasant day expected.
Speaking this morning in the forecast, Mpho Rasimphi, a meteorologist at SABC , noted the day's standout conditions.
'It will be warm over most of KwaZulu-Natal today, especially over Richards Bay. We're expecting a beautiful sunrise,' said Rasimphi.
Overall, residents can enjoy the day outdoors, with little to no weather-related disruptions expected.

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.

Also read: How to help small animals during heavy rains Saws has reported that scattered showers and rain are to be experienced in the province, and general rain is anticipated today along the south coast. eThekwini Municipality is expected to experience over 60mm of rain, which will increase the likelihood of localised flooding in low-lying and susceptible areas. By tomorrow, the rain is expected to impact more of the northern coast. Potential impact: Localised flooding in both formal and informal settlements, particularly in low-lying areas and clogged drainage systems. Hazardous driving on earth roads, risk of minor road accidents due to poor visibility and slippery road surfaces. Damage to mud houses in the flood-stricken communities. Residents are reminded to exercise caution and not to cross flooded roads or bridges. Motorists are requested to exercise additional caution while driving in the rain and reduce speeds in order to remain safe. For more Southlands Sun news, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
