Windy and unsettled weather expected across several provinces
The South African Weather Service warns that a cut-off low, linked to a surface high-pressure system, will bring windy, cooler and unsettled weather to several provinces this week.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has warned that a cut-off low, associated with a surface high-pressure system, will bring windy, cooler and unsettled weather conditions to parts of South Africa from Tuesday afternoon, June 16 through Saturday, June 20.
According to SAWS, the system is expected to move eastwards, spreading these conditions to the Free State and the western parts of the Eastern Cape. By Friday and Saturday, the weather system may begin affecting the North West, Gauteng and neighbouring provinces.

The weather service said it will continue to monitor the developing system closely and issue updates and warnings where necessary.
“Take extra care on the roads – strong winds may create hazardous driving conditions,” SAWS warned.
Strong to fresh winds over the western interior may also increase the risk of veld fires in affected areas.
