Partly cloudy and warm conditions are expected across most of the country, while hot and severe thunderstorms are forecast for some regions of the Northern Cape, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).

Impact-based warnings

A Yellow Level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms, leading to localised damage to infrastructure, informal settlements, vehicles, livelihoods, and livestock, is expected over the southern parts of the Northern Cape.

In the SAWS’ colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that a higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.

SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-related impacts. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
