Overview
- The South African Weather Service issued a yellow level 1 impact-based warning for most of Mpumalanga on Monday, 13 July, warning of localized flooding of low-lying areas, small hail and damaging winds.
- By 14 July the national pattern shifted to broadly fine and cool conditions with morning fog and pockets of frost expected inland, and no active impact-based warnings for the country.
- Isolated showers and thundershowers were forecast for parts of KwaZulu‑Natal, Gauteng, Free State, North West, Limpopo and sections of Mpumalanga, posing localized disruption rather than widespread storm damage.
- Western Cape faces a very high UVB index despite cool temperatures and residents were advised to protect against sunburn, while coastal winds in KwaZulu‑Natal are expected to shift to north‑easterly south of Durban by late morning.
- No fire danger warnings were issued for the period covered and provincial forecasts may change daily, so local conditions and short notices remain the best guide for residents and services.
