This forecast covers: Wed 03 Jun – Fri 05 Jun


Snowfall is possible from Wednesday through to Friday on the Eastern Cape Highlands, the Drakensberg peaks and in Lesotho as per the map.

Snow is indicated in the Eastern Cape for the high ground around Rhodes and Barkly East.

In Lesotho snow is currently indicated in the data for the high ground around Semonkong, Afriski and along the A1, the top of Sani Pass and other areas marked on the map.

This is still very much an advance forecast and will almost certainly change so check back for updates.
