Here is today’s weather by province: Thundershowers soak Gauteng and Limpopo across the north

Hello and good morning from home. South Africa has a mixed bag today, with spring making its presence felt. Showers and thundershowers are expected in Gauteng and Limpopo, while Mpumalanga sees rain showers and KwaZulu-Natal gets slight rain. The Western Cape stays clear and bright, and the Free State, North West and Northern Cape enjoy partly cloudy skies. Cloudy conditions are likely in the Eastern Cape, so a light jacket may be handy for those in Gqeberha.

North West takes the warmth crown at 31°C in Mahikeng, while Bloemfontein and Kimberley share the chilliest start at 9°C. The wettest spots are Gauteng and Limpopo with their thundershowers. Happily, the South African Weather Service has no active warnings today.
