It’s been a cold, wet and windy start to the winter season in the Cape, and another strong weather system is set to see temperatures plunge in the coming days, with some snow predicted for high-lying areas and mountains – possibly even Table Mountain.
According to the ever reliable WindGuru predictor, a strong cold front will bring plenty of rainfall from Thursday, which is likely to persist through to Sunday.
It is the plunging temperatures on Sunday that will certainly catch the attention of those in Cape Town, with single digits expected in the early hours of the morning, while its unlikely to rise much beyond 12°C even at the peak of the day.
There is some snow predicted across the high-lying areas and mountain passes of most provinces between Thursday and Monday, but it’s really the Western Cape peaks that could get quite a heavy dusting of snow.
Table Mountain set for some snow?
Interestingly, there is even a chance that the iconic Table Mountain could see some snowfall, although if it is does materialise on Sunday, it’s expected to be extremely light.
There is also a chance of some light snowfall in Gauteng as temperatures plunge to the low single digits during the early hours, particularly on Monday.
