Gauteng will experience mild and mostly dry conditions on Thursday, 14 August. Maximum temperatures in Johannesburg and Pretoria are expected to peak at around 24°C.
Forecaster Phemelo Zonke said the province will remain largely unaffected by the passing cold front, but motorists should take note of morning driving conditions.
“We expect early morning fog patches in parts of Limpopo that could reduce visibility to less than a kilometre. While Gauteng itself will be mostly clear, neighbouring regions may experience reduced visibility, so motorists travelling in or out should drive cautiously and keep a safe following distance,” Zonke explained.
Cold front brings showers to provinces surrounding Gauteng
The cold front is now positioned southeast of the country, resulting in showers and thundershowers in the eastern parts of the Northern Cape, southern Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Eastern Cape. Gauteng, however, will largely remain with mild, fine to partly cloudy conditions.
Zonke noted, “This system affects central and southeastern regions more than Gauteng. Residents here can expect cool to warm conditions without significant rainfall.”
Fire Risk Warnings Issued
The South African Weather Service has issued a high fire danger warning for the northeastern parts of the Northern Cape. While this does not directly affect Gauteng, authorities urge residents in the region to avoid activities that may spark fires.
