Partly cloudy and cold conditions are expected in most parts of the country, with isolated showers in KwaZulu-Natal, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
Yellow Level 2 warning for damaging interior winds leading to localised damage to temporary structures and reduced visibility due to blowing dust expected over the Hantam and Karoo Hoogland municipalities in the Northern Cape.
In the SAWS colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that a higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation. The SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, Level 5 is medium, and levels 4 and 8 are low.
