A cold front is set to make landfall over the southwestern parts of South Africa tomorrow afternoon, heralding the arrival of a severe mid-latitude cyclone currently swirling over the South Atlantic Ocean.
With the cold-core systems approach, local authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and prepare for extreme weather conditions that could disrupt daily life across affected regions.
The satellite image captured at 17:20 today reveals the cold fronts advance over central South Africa, indicating that adverse weather is imminent.
As the system moves eastward, those in its path can expect a barrage of heavy rain and potential thunderstorms, exacerbated by intense cold, strong winds, rough seas, and even snow in higher altitudes.
The South African Weather Service has warned that the most intense part of the cyclone will track south of the country but will still impact the southwestern coast significantly.
