Heavy Rainfall Alert for Parts of South Africa
Johannesburg – South Africa's Meteorological Forecasting Division has issued a warning for heavy rainfall expected in several regions. Residents are urged to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
According to the latest forecasts, moderate rainfall is likely in some hilly areas, potentially affecting provinces like KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, and parts of the Western Cape. The alert specifically mentions the possibility of localized heavy rainfall in one or two locations within these regions, extending into the coastal areas.
The weather tonight is expected to be generally cloudy in the hilly regions, with partial cloud cover in the remaining areas. This increases the risk of flash floods and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas.

The Meteorological Forecasting Division strongly advises the public to adopt safety precautions and preparedness measures. The risk of landslides and debris flows is elevated due to the anticipated heavy rainfall.
- Avoid travelling through flood-prone areas.
- Monitor weather updates regularly.
- Secure loose objects around your property.
