This forecast is for: Sat 27 June 2026
The maps cover: Sat 27 Jun – Sun 28 Jun


Partly cloudy and cool to warm with isolated showers and thundershowers on Saturday, becoming scattered in the south-west on Sunday as another cold front makes landfall.

A well developed cold front associated with a steep upper-air trough is expected to make landfall over the western parts of the Western Cape on Sunday resulting in strong to near gale-force north-westerly winds of 40-55 km/h with gusts of 70-90 km/h over the Hantam and Karoo Hoogland municipalities in the Northern Cape, as well as the western parts of the Western Cape.

Very cold, wet and windy conditions are expected over the southern parts of the Namakwa District Municipality in the Northern Cape as well as over the Cape Winelands District Municipality in the Western Cape on Sunday, spreading over the Central and Little Karoo District Municipality in the Western Cape on Monday.

Strong north-westerly winds can be expected in places over the interior of the Eastern Cape, especially the high lying areas.

Warnings from the SA Weather Service:

A. level 2 warning for reduced visibility due to dense fog leading to difficulty in driving conditions, road traffic accidents as well as short-term travel with longer travel times over the Highveld and in places over the escarpment in Mpumalanga.

Warnings from the SA Weather Service for Sunday:

A. level 4 warning disruptive rainfall leading to localised flooding of susceptible formal/informal settlements or roads, low lying areas and bridges over the City of Cape Town and the Cape Winelands District Municipalities in the Western Cape.

B. level 2 warning for damaging wind and waves leading to difficulty in navigation at sea between Cape Columbine and Cape Agulhas in the Western Cape until Monday.

C. level 2 warning for damaging interior winds resulting in localised problems for high-sided vehicles on prone routes in the Western Cape and over the southern parts of Namakwa District Municipality in the Northern Cape.
