Cold front brings rain and cooler temperatures across South Africa
South Africans should prepare for a distinctly chilly and wet week as a cold front sweeps across the nation, ushering in isolated showers and a noticeable plunge in temperatures.
From Monday, residents in various regions will encounter a dramatic shift in weather, with the South African Weather Service (SAWS) predicting scattered rainfall and a 60% probability of showers particularly affecting the Eastern Cape, southern KwaZulu-Natal, and along the southern coastline.
The inclement weather does not stop there; isolated thunderstorms carrying a 30% chance of rain have been forecast for pockets of the Northern Cape, Free State, and Limpopo. However, it is worth noting that most areas in the central and north-eastern parts of the country, including Gauteng and Mpumalanga, are expected to remain dry, with no severe weather warnings currently in effect.
