Weather warning issued for Garden Route
The Cape Town Weather Office has issued several weather warnings for the Garden Route area for the coming week.
The public and small stock farmers are advised that very cold conditions with daytime temperatures below 10°C are expected to set in over the Western Cape and southern Namakwa District (N. Cape) on Thursday and Friday, due to a cold front moving through the areas, bringing in light snowfalls over the mountain peaks and very cold conditions.
Fresh to strong south-easterly winds (30-50km/h) can be expected for both days resulting in a significant wind chill factor.
This will cause temperatures to feel much colder outdoors.
Affected areas: Beaufort-West, Breede Valley, Hantam, Kannaland, Karoo Hoogland, Laingsburg, Langeberg, Oudtshoorn, Prince Albert and Witzenberg.
Report any weather related incidents to the Garden Route District Disaster Management Centre at 044 805 5071.
