The warning, according to their website, will take effect from 16:00 this afternoon well into the evening and again tomorrow afternoon.

According to Vox Weather, storms are possible due to a high pressure system over Namibia that will filter across Limpopo this afternoon.

“There is a likelihood that some of those storms could turn severe, produce hail and damaging winds and heavy rain over the central parts of Limpopo so please be careful,” their forecast suggests.

A Level 2 warning suggests a high likelihood with minor impact.

The SAWS says localised flooding of susceptible roads, low-lying areas and bridges might be possible as well as large amounts of small hail over an open area.

Their forecast suggests a 60% chance of scattered thundershowers today and tomorrow with partly cloudy and cool to warm but hot conditions in the east.

According to AccuWeather, Polokwane will reach a high of 32°C tomorrow with their forecast predicting a 25% chance of rain.
