Stormy conditions will slowly start clearing by Wednesday evening and into Thursday. On Thursday, a cold front is expected to bring in light showers in parts of the Western Cape.

This comes after the South African Weather Service (SAWS) issued a warning of disruptive snow that could result in icy and slippery roads, traffic disruptions, and dangerous driving conditions.

“As the upper-air cut-off low intensifies, snowfall (as much as 20-30 cm depth) of a more significant and disruptive nature should be anticipated over the eastern peaks of the Lesotho Drakensberg mountains, as well as higher peaks of the Eastern Cape, in the Barkly East and Tiffindell areas. A yellow level 5 warning is suggested for the disruptive snowfalls.”

Meanwhile, the SAWS previously advised the public and small stock farmers that loss of vulnerable livestock and crops can be expected in these weather conditions.

SMALL STOCK FARMERS SHOULD PROVIDE SHELTER FOR VULNERABLE LIVESTOCK

“The weak and frail may also be vulnerable since their bodies won’t be able to retain their heat as easily.”

“Small stock farmers should provide shelter for their vulnerable livestock and cover sensitive crops. Shelter, soup and blankets should be provided to the weak and frail where possible.”
