The SA Weather Service (Saws) has warned residents of severe thunderstorms in the northeastern parts of the Western Cape and Namaqua on Monday.
“Severe thunderstorms may develop particularly over the Central Karoo, Cape Winelands, Garden Route and Overberg districts tonight [Sunday] continuing into the morning,” said Saws.
“The thunderstorms may produce quick and heavy downpours of 20mm to 40mm over a short time, leading to disruptions.”
Residents were warned of the impact of flooding on roads and in susceptible settlements and when crossing fast-flowing streams.
Small and large hail stones may damage vehicles and can cause difficult driving conditions, specially during heavy downpours, said the weather service.
