Cold front to bring snow, flooding and damaging winds across South Africa from Sunday

A cold front is expected to affect South Africa starting on Sunday, August 9, bringing cold, wet, and windy conditions to the Western and Northern Cape, with potential for snowfall in mountainous regions such as the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, and Mpumalanga. The South African Weather Service (SAWS) warns of localized flooding in low-lying areas, damaged infrastructure from strong winds, hazardous driving conditions, and risks to coastal activities and livestock. The weather system is projected to move eastward, deepening into the central and eastern parts of the country by Monday, August 10, with continued rain and cold conditions. Authorities urge the public, motorists, farmers, and emergency services to monitor updates and prepare for the impacts.
