Meanwhile, a cold front is set to hit the Western and Northern Cape on Friday.
While the winter season edges closer to its end, the South African Weather Service (SAWS) confirmed that thunderstorms were expected in some part of the province on Thursday afternoon, 27 August.
SAWS forecaster Kgolofelo Mahlangu told The Citizen that Gauteng would experience a tiny drop in temperature on the day while the warm weather persists throughout the week.
However, she added that Gauteng would see slightly warmer temperatures from Friday despite the expected thunderstorms the day before.

A strong cold front is also expected in the Western Cape and Northern Cape on Friday.
