Gauteng will experience clear daytime weather under clear skies, but nighttime temperatures are set to dip sharply this week. While the region remains unaffected by the incoming cold front hitting the Western Cape, forecasters advise residents to prepare for chilly mornings and evenings.
According to Mpho Rasimphi, a weather forecaster, “Gauteng will remain mostly clear, with Johannesburg reaching highs of around 19 degrees. However, temperatures will drop significantly at night.”
This pattern continues from the trend of stable conditions over Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
No Rainfall for Gauteng as Cold Front Moves Elsewhere
The cold front sweeping through the Western Cape will not directly impact Gauteng. Instead, Gauteng and its surrounding provinces will stay mostly cloud-free.
“Tomorrow is going to be a clear day for Gauteng,” Rasimphi explained.
“While parts of the Northern and Eastern Cape face damaging winds, Gauteng will enjoy stable and dry conditions.”
Prepare for Cold Early Mornings
Although the days will be pleasant, the evenings and early mornings could be uncomfortable. Bethlehem, located nearby in the Free State, expects a minimum of -3°C.
Rasimphi noted, “Over parts of central South Africa, including areas near Gauteng, overnight temperatures will hover around zero. It’s going to be a relatively chilly night.”
