Gauteng will see cloudy conditions as weather systems from the west spread across the interior provinces. Sunshine will likely remain limited most of the day, leaving conditions cooler than in other regions.
Forecaster Joel Guy said the province is entering a period of subdued weather.
“It’s going to be a cloudy day as we move into the northwest, stretching towards Mpumalanga and the Free State,” he explained.
This cloud formation is linked to a trough situated over the Northern Cape, which is influencing large parts of the country.
Moderate temperatures across Gauteng
Unlike KwaZulu-Natal, where scorching highs are expected, Gauteng will experience more moderate temperatures. The cooler conditions will provide some relief for residents, especially with summer heat looming on the horizon.
Guy pointed out the contrast: “We expect Gauteng to remain much milder compared to KwaZulu-Natal, where temperatures will climb above 35 degrees in some areas,” he said.
Residents can anticipate pleasant but subdued weather, though the lack of sunshine may dampen outdoor plans. The province’s current pattern aligns with a transitional climate phase as South Africa moves toward warmer months.
Weather Warnings Remain for Central Areas
While Gauteng itself does not face severe conditions such as strong winds or intense heat, warnings remain in place for central parts of the country. These alerts mainly apply to the Northern Cape, Free State, and Mpumalanga, where unstable weather is more pronounced.
Guy stressed the importance of regional awareness.
“Warnings are issued to protect residents across the central interior, and while Gauteng is less affected, nearby provinces will experience more disruptive conditions,” he said.
Do you prefer Gauteng’s milder, cloudy conditions, or would you rather face the heat and sunshine seen in other provinces?
