Very light snowfall is possible on the Western Cape peaks on Saturday and overnight into Sunday.

Very cold, wet and windy conditions are expected over parts of the Northern Cape and Western Cape on Saturday.

The high peaks around regular snow areas such as Franschhoek, Paarl, Tulbagh, Worcester, De Doorns, Ceres, the Cederberg, the Koue Bokkeveld and parts of the Swartberg range in the Western Cape might get a light dusting of snow.

NO low-level snow is currently expected anywhere this weekend.

This is still an advance forecast and we will update again before the weekend.
