Showers expected in Gauteng on Tuesday as cold bites

The South African Weather Service said the cold weather was most likely to continue this week, over central and eastern parts of the country.

The weather service has warned of worsening cold conditions with showers expected in parts of Gauteng from Tuesday until Thursday.

The South African Weather Service said the cold weather was most likely to continue this week, over central and eastern parts of the country.

Cloudy conditions with showers of rain were expected over North West, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and some parts of Limpopo.

The cause of these extreme conditions is the cut-off low system, which will be situated over Free State on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then moving slowly north-eastwards by Thursday.

As a result of this weather system, heavy rains which can lead to localised flooding are expected along the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal into southern Mozambique on Wednesday night into Thursday, the service said.

It is expected to clear on Friday, with temperatures peaking in the high teens and low 20s at the weekend.
