Spanning until Monday, 9 June 2025, this weather system is likely to unleash a torrent of wet, cold and windy conditions across various provinces, Cape town Etc reports.
According to SAWS, the highest precipitation is anticipated to occur on Saturday, with rainfall amounts between 10 to 20mm expected in the western parts of the Western Cape and significantly higher totals of 30 to 40mm over mountainous regions.
