A heatwave is expected in parts of the Eastern Cape until Monday, while heavy rain is forecast for Mpumalanga, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).

It will be warm and cloudy, with scattered showers in most parts of the country.

Impact-based warnings

Yellow Level 4 warning: Disruptive rain leading to localised flooding of susceptible roads, settlements, and low-lying areas/bridges over the Lowveld and escarpment of Limpopo and the north-eastern parts of Mpumalanga.

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.

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

Advisories

A heatwave with persistently high temperatures is expected across the Eastern Cape (except for the Joe Gqabi and Amathole districts) until Monday.
