The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued a warning of damaging winds for parts of the Eastern Cape, while morning fog and cool, cloudy conditions are forecast for most of the country.
Impact-based warnings
Yellow level 1 warning: Damaging wind resulting in localised damage to informal and formal settlements, falling trees, as well as power and communication interruptions, is expected in places over 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. The SAWS uses numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Level 1 is medium.
Advisories
Very cold, wet and windy conditions are expected over the southern parts of the Namakwa District in the Northern Cape, as well as over the Witzenberg Municipality in the Western Cape on Friday.
