SAWS issues heatwave warning for parts of Eastern Cape
The SA Weather Service has issued a heatwave warning for the North West, Free State, Gauteng, and the Eastern Cape’s OR Tambo Municipality and Alfred Nzo District Municipality until Friday.
Forecaster Wayne Venter explained that this was due to a high-pressure system in the atmosphere resulting in an increase in surface temperature.
“It’s best to stay hydrated during this time, drink a lot of water, limit any outdoor activities if you can, and also try to wear loose clothing and remain in the shade as much as possible if you decide to go outside,” he said.
Saws has also warned of an extremely high fire danger index over the Northern Cape interior, the western part of the Free State and North West, the south-western Bushveld in Limpopo, and in places over the KwaZulu-Natal interior.
Saws said strong to near-gale winds are expected south of Table Bay, Gansbaai, and Hout Bay.
