The South African Weather Service SAWS has issued a series of weather warnings as an intense cut-off low-pressure system begins moving across parts of the country, with the Western Cape expected to bear the brunt of the impact, Cape town Etc reports.
According to SAWS, the slow-moving system is expected to make landfall over the western parts of South Africa before tracking eastward between Tuesday, 5 May, and Thursday, 7 May, bringing a sustained spell of cold, wet and windy conditions.
While the system will affect multiple provinces, SAWS says the eastern parts of the Western Cape, including the Garden Route, Overberg, Central Karoo and Little Karoo, are likely to experience the most severe conditions.
