It is a warm and unsettled Sunday across much of South Africa, with showers and thundershowers expected in Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, Mahikeng and Kimberley, and thunderstorms over Johannesburg. Polokwane looks mostly clear, Mbombela stays cloudy, and Cape Town wakes to mist before reaching 25°C.
Kimberley is the warmest at 33°C, followed by Mahikeng at 32°C, while Cape Town has the coolest start at 13°C. Durban is the breeziest, with a northeasterly wind of 20 km/h alongside its showers. SAWS has issued warnings for severe thunderstorms in the Eastern Cape around Komani, Makhanda, Lady Frere and Peddie, so take care if you have family there.
