Cold front brings rain and cooler temperatures across South Africa

IOL News3 days ago
Mzansi is preparing for another cold front that will bring with it, rain and icy temperatures.
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.
