A level 6 warning for SEVERE thunderstorms and hail was issued for NOW in these parts of South Africa.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) said flash flooding of roads, susceptible settlements, and danger to life in crossing fast-flowing streams.
“Large amounts of small hail/large hail can cause damage to vehicles and difficult driving conditions, especially where heavy downpours are present. These conditions can lead to major travel disruptions and can be aggravated by possible falling trees blocking major roads.
“Loss of agricultural production is also likely, together with disruption to essential services.”
