Hot and humid weather is expected in most parts of the Eastern Cape.
The South African Weather Service has warned of hot and humid conditions in parts of the Eastern Cape, while most parts of the country will be cool to warm.
Impact-based warnings
Yellow level 1 warning for severe thunderstorms associated with strong damaging winds, hail, excessive lightning, and heavy downpours leading to flooding of susceptible roads, settlements, as well as low-lying bridges/areas are expected over Kai Igarib, Ikheis, Siyathemba, Kareeberg and Ubuntu local municipalities in the Northern Cape.
In the SAWS’s colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.
The SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and level 4 is low.
Advisories
Hot and humid weather will result in extremely uncomfortable conditions in places over Sarah Baartman District Municipality, Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, Buffalo City Metro and Amathole District Municipality in the Eastern Cape.
