Severe weather storms and large hail predicted for Gauteng on Monday

The passage of an upper air trough during the course of Monday will result in very favourable conditions for severe thunderstorms.

There is a watch for severe storms with a potential for large hail and damaging winds over Gauteng, the SA Weather Service warned.

This week should be significantly wetter over the eastern parts of South Africa. Although a wetter period is expected, seasonal forecasts remain confident that the latter part of the rain season will be drier than normal.
