A cold front is approaching the country which will bring rain to parts of the Western Cape and possibly the Southern Cape. An upper air through is expected to develop over parts of the Eastern Cape. The upper air trough might just bring some thunderstorms to parts of the Eastern and Southern Cape later today and tomorrow morning. So lookout for unsettled weather in these areas.
Poor to bad visibility can be expected as the risk for run-away veld
fires increase with the high fire danger conditions in parts of the
Northern-, North Eastern Cape and the
interior. 495 fires
were detected over the past 24 hours in South Africa. This figure is
expected to increase as strong to near gale force winds precedes the cold
front. Please contact your nearest fire fighting unit, Working on Fire
or Local Fire Fighting Service when fires are observed. The earlier a
fire is detected to better the chances of extinguishing the fire.
