The South African Weather Service has predicted high fire danger in at least four provinces, while cold, wet and windy weather is expected in other parts of the country.
Impact-Based Warnings
An orange level 5 warning for high tides has been issued for the coast between Plettenberg Bay and Buffalo City, which could cause flooding, particularly in low-water coastal areas at the estuary.
Disruption to smaller ports, damage to beaches, dunes and estuaries, and even river bank breaches further upstream are expected.
A level 2 amber warning has been issued as heavy rainfall could cause flooding of roads and flood-prone settlements, as well as vehicle accidents due to slippery roads and poor visibility in the south-western Western Cape.
A Level 2 Yellow warning has been issued between Plettenberg Bay and East London for strong winds and waves causing problems for marine navigation for small craft and personal watercraft.
Fire hazard warning
Very high fire danger conditions are expected in Modimolle Municipality in Limpopo, the eastern and north-western Free State and southern Gauteng.
