An intense low-pressure system is expected to develop over the southern parts of Mozambique in the coming days, the SA Weather Service SAWS said yesterday.
This system is forecast to then move further south and is expected to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the northeastern parts of the country from early morning Saturday, persisting until next Thursday.
The areas most likely to be affected include the escarpment and lowveld areas of Limpopo and Mpumalanga, and northeastern KwaZulu-Natal.
