This is due to the cloudy conditions and occasional  that are expected from today, Tuesday, 16 June until Thursday, 18 June, over North West, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and some parts of Limpopo.

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) said the cause of these extreme conditions is the cut off low (COL) system which will be situated over Free State on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then moving slowly north-eastwards by Thursday.

Furthermore, still as a result of this weather system, heavy rains which can lead to localised flooding are expected along the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal into southern Mozambique on Wednesday night and into Thursday.

This system is expected to exit the country on Friday, with temperatures improving to the high teens and low twenties from the weekend.
