Gauteng residents can expect cold conditions and a chance of isolated thundershowers this week, as weather systems bring shifting patterns to the region.
Forecaster Mduduzi Mthembu says partly cloudy skies will dominate over the central interior of South Africa, including Gauteng.
“This will result in cooler air flowing over the interior, particularly across the Highveld,” he said.
Isolated rainfall for Gauteng
Morning fog patches are expected in many areas, especially in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, the eastern Free State and southern interior regions. These will clear up during the day, but Gauteng should prepare for another round of isolated rainfall and possible thundershowers in the afternoon.
“Later in the day, isolated thunderstorms could develop over the central interior and may spread northwards,” Mthembu noted.
Cool but typical winter weather
Overnight temperatures across Gauteng will remain typical for this time of year. The province can expect lows averaging 6°C, with maximum temperatures rising to around 18°C tomorrow in Johannesburg and Pretoria. The cold conditions are expected to persist into midweek.
