Impact-Based Warnings

– A yellow level 4 storm surge warning is expected to be issued for locations along the coast between Plettenberg Bay and East London.
– A Level 2 Amber Warning is expected to be in effect for the southwestern Western Cape and southern Eastern Cape this morning, with heavy rainfall causing localised flooding of roads and flood-prone settlements, as well as minor vehicle accidents due to slippery roads and reduced visibility.
– A Level 2 Yellow Warning for strong winds causing disruption to marine navigation for small craft and personal watercraft is expected to be in force between Cape Point and Cape Agulhas, and between Plettenberg Bay and Algoa Bay.
