The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has warned of damaging waves in parts of the Western Cape, while severe thunderstorms with heavy downpours persist in other parts of the country.
Impact-based warnings
A Yellow Level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms with heavy downpours, lightning, hail, and damaging winds resulting in localised flooding and damage to settlements and infrastructure is expected over the North West, Free State, and north-eastern of the Northern Cape as well as the north-eastern and extreme western parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
A Yellow Level 1 warning for damaging waves leading to difficulty in navigation is expected between Saldanha Bay and Cape Agulhas.
In the SAWS’ colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that a higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.
The SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
Advisories
Hot and humid weather will result in extremely uncomfortable conditions over the north-eastern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
