POLOKWANE- The South African Weather Service says there is a high risk for severe storms expected in the south western and southern parts of Limpopo on Friday and Saturday.
“Following a succession of hot to very hot spells during recent weeks over the eastern parts of the country, including a heat wave conditions, all is set to change quite dramatically with the passage of a cold front, immediately followed by a strong ridge of high pressure from Friday,” forecaster, Ezekiel Sebego, said.
This means that significantly cooler conditions can be expected on Saturday when daytime temperatures are expected to be restricted to the low to mid-teens.

“The good news is that, whilst chilly conditions are expected over many parts this weekend, the South African Weather Service expects a fairly rapid recovery of daytime temperatures from Monday onwards,” he concluded.
