South Africa is preparing for a severe cold front expected to impact the Western and Northern Cape regions from June 25th to June 27th, 2025. The South African Weather Service (SAWS) forecasts heavy rainfall, gale-force winds, and dangerous sea conditions, with snowfall anticipated.
Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa has urged communities to remain vigilant and adhere to official weather updates. Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution due to potential impacts, including deteriorating maritime conditions. Gale-force winds and rough seas are expected along the coastlines.
Municipalities and disaster management centers are on high alert, ready to assist. This warning follows a series of severe weather events earlier in June, including heavy rainfall, strong winds, and significant snowfall. Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
