Overview
- Forecasters at the South African Weather Service expect mostly fine to partly cloudy conditions with cool mornings and warmer afternoons across much of the country.
- Fog patches are likely in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and parts of the Free State, with isolated showers in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and the far north-east of North West.
- Coastal winds will be moderate to fresh for many areas and fresh to strong along the Western Cape’s south-west coast, which could pose tougher conditions at sea.
- City snapshots point to big day-night temperature swings, with Bloemfontein near 1°C at dawn climbing to about 22°C and Durban holding near 18–23°C under partly cloudy skies.
- UVB guidance in the reports ranges from low to high, a difference that reflects shifting cloud cover and regional variation rather than a single incorrect forecast.
