It is a cool, damp Wednesday across much of South Africa. Rain showers are falling over Johannesburg, Polokwane and Mbombela, while Bloemfontein, Mahikeng and Kimberley can expect showers and thundershowers. Durban has slight rain, and only the southern and western coasts stay mostly dry.
Cape Town is the clear standout, climbing from 16°C to a hot 36°C under clear skies. Bloemfontein has the coldest start at 7°C, and Johannesburg and Polokwane only reach 13°C. The South African Weather Service has warned of damaging winds in Nelson Mandela Bay, Sundays River Valley and Ngqushwa, with Gqeberha facing a brisk ENE wind of 25 km/h.
