KwaZulu-Natal braces for disruptive rainfall and potential thunderstorms as a strong weather system sweeps across the province this week, bringing wet and cold conditions.
The South Coast will experience heavy overnight rain, while the North Coast is likely to be affected by the same system by the following afternoon.
Forecaster Mduduzi Mthembu confirmed, “We are expecting disruptive overnight rainfall in the South Coast region, spreading northwards towards areas like Richards Bay and the northern coast tomorrow.”
Chance of snow in Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal
Colder air could bring snowfall alongside rain over Lesotho and the Drakensberg Mountain range. Mthembu added, “There’s a good chance of snowfall in the high-lying parts of KwaZulu-Natal, especially in the Drakensberg.”
Cold mornings, wet afternoons
Residents in Pietermaritzburg and inland areas should also expect fog in the early mornings and isolated rainfall by the afternoon. Temperatures in Durban will remain mild, with overnight lows around 15°C and daytime highs near 21°C.
