After a frosty start to the week, warmer conditions are expected to bring much-needed relief to Pretoria.

Residents can look forward to a gradual rise in temperatures.

According to Vox Weather forecaster Michelle Cordier, no rain is expected in Pretoria.

“From tomorrow, the temperatures will rise by about 1° daily. ”

She said residents could expect 23° on Thursday, 24° on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 25°

“It will only be a bit cooler again on Monday (21 in Pretoria and 19 in JHB) due to a high-pressure system heading behind a cold front. Minimum temps will not drop below 0 for the next few days. So, the rest of the week will just be a lovely winter week.”
