Gauteng Weather Alert! Will the Rain Stay Away This Weekend?
Johannesburg – After a bracing cold front swept through South Africa, many were bracing for continued chills and downpours. However, the South African Weather Service (SAWS) has updated its forecast, bringing a mix of news for different regions. While initial predictions suggested widespread rain and strong winds, the latest reports indicate a more nuanced picture.
Gauteng: Partly Cloudy Skies Ahead
Residents of Gauteng can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now. While a 30% chance of rain was initially predicted for the weekend, updated forecasts suggest partly cloudy conditions will prevail. So, you can likely leave your umbrellas at home, but keep a light jacket handy just in case.
Western Cape: Fine and Cool Weather
Meanwhile, the Western Cape is expected to enjoy fine and cool weather throughout the weekend. According to forecaster Tokelo Chiloane, no rain is anticipated in the region. This is good news for those planning outdoor activities or simply looking to soak up some sunshine.
Cold Front's Journey
The recent cold front, which originated in the Western Cape, was initially expected to bring lower temperatures, rainfall, and strong winds to KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and Gauteng. While the front did bring a dip in temperatures, the rainfall predictions have been revised for Gauteng. Keep an eye on SAWS for further updates as weather patterns can change quickly.
