SA province on alert as two cold fronts approach within 48 hours

Date: May 19, 2025

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued a warning for two cold fronts in the next 48 hours, mainly in the Western Cape and surrounding provinces. The first cold front will be less intense.

Persistent rainy conditions may lead to localised flooding in low-lying regions and areas with poor drainage in the Western Cape.

The Weather Service has forecast strong winds reaching up to 65 km/h across the inland parts of the Western, Northern and Eastern Cape.

Temperatures are expected to plummet, and rough sea conditions are also predicted, posing a serious threat to small vessels and coastal activities.

The strong winds could also cause delays on the road and create hazards for high-sided vehicles along national routes. Power lines could also be affected.
