POLOKWANE – Polokwane is in for a week of steady warming, climbing from a cool, cloudy start into the high twenties by Friday, before a shower breaks up the sunshine over the weekend.

A cloudy start to the week

Monday kicks off on the cool side, with plenty of cloud cover and a top of just 19°.

Tuesday looks much the same, staying grey with a similarly mild high, before the skies start to clear on Wednesday as the sun pushes through and temperatures hold steady in the low twenties.

Nights stay cool throughout, dipping as low as 8° midweek.

Things heat up

From Thursday, the warm-up kicks into gear.

Hazy sunshine sends the mercury up to 25°, and by Friday – set to be the warmest day of the week – residents can expect highs around 28° under a soft haze.

Rain returns at the weekend

That run of sunshine takes a brief dip on Saturday, with a passing shower likely and a 55% chance of rain, pulling temperatures back down slightly to the mid-twenties.

Anyone with weekend plans outdoors should keep an umbrella within reach.

Sunday bounces back to hazy sun and a high of 26°.

Into the new week

The following Monday keeps the good weather going, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 26°, though a stronger easterly wind will make itself felt.

All in all, it’s a week that gets progressively warmer and brighter, with just one weekend shower to watch out for.
