News24 | Tuesday’s weather: Partly cloudy, warm in most parts; rain in Western Cape and Eastern Cape

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has forecast partly cloudy, cool to warm conditions for most of the country, while isolated showers are expected in parts of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape.

Yellow Level 2 warning: Wind and waves leading to difficulty in navigation at sea, as well as small vessels taking on water, are expected between Cape Point and Plettenberg Bay on Wednesday and Thursday.

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.

SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.

An intense cut-off low is expected to affect the Eastern Cape from Wednesday to Friday. The public and all small stock farmers are advised that the combination of snow, heavy rain, flooding, very cold conditions and very rough seas can be expected.
