Very cold, wet and windy conditions are expected in parts of the Western Cape, Northern Cape and the Eastern Cape, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Impact-based warnings
Yellow Level 1: Damaging winds resulting in localised damage to informal and formal settlements, falling trees, and power and communication interruptions are expected in places across the north-eastern parts of the Eastern 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 a higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.
The SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-related impacts. Levels 2 and 6 are high, levela 1 and 5 are medium, and levels 4 and 8 are low.
Advisories
Very cold, wet and windy conditions are expected over the southern parts of the Namakwa District in the Northern Cape, as well as the Witzenberg Municipality in the Western Cape on Friday.
