Snow brings bitterly cold weather with rain and destructive winds
'From Alexander Bay to the north of Richards Bay, we expect destructive waves. Damaging winds are blowing mainly over the interior of the Eastern Cape into parts of the coastal areas of the Eastern Cape,' he said.
Rain is also on the radar, with isolated to scattered showers expected along the eastern parts of the Eastern Cape and into the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal. A 60% chance of rain has been forecast for most of the northeastern Eastern Cape and parts of Lesotho, where more light snow may still fall during the afternoon.
Looking ahead to Thursday, he said a 30% chance of showers and rain remains mainly along the east coast — from the Eastern Cape into KwaZulu-Natal. Coastal conditions will remain rough, with high seas and disruptive waves expected to continue from Cape Agulhas through to Richards Bay.
'We're expecting waves or high seas and rough seas over those areas due to some windy conditions for Thursday. No precipitation is expected for the interior tomorrow, where it will still be cold. Cool temperatures will start to develop, especially over the northeastern provinces, covering Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West into parts of Limpopo into the weekend.'
