Icy Snap Yet to Come as Cold Front Moves Off

Last Updated on 18th August 2020 5:52 PM by AfriWX

As the cold front moves off into the Indian Ocean the icy cold air and cold snap following in behind is yet to come with freezing temperatures expected across much of the country for the next two days.

Lots of snow has fallen across the Western and Eastern Cape during the night and is continuing this morning. With lots of snow on the ground be prepared for a very cold 2 days ahead.

Even the daytime highs for Wednesday 19 August are looking very cool especially for the Western, Eastern, Northern Cape and Free State.

Stay safe and stay warm as there is also a high risk of Load Shedding and power cuts.
