FIRE DANGER WARNINGS:

Extremely high fire danger conditions are expected over the southern and central parts of the Northern Cape, as well as the north-eastern parts of the Western Cape.

ADVISORIES:

A. Over-land tropical depression (ex-Freddy) is expected to cause rainfall over the escarpment and Lowveld areas of Limpopo and north-eastern corner of Mpumalanga Province from tomorrow evening, with more rainfall accumulation expected from Saturday into Sunday over the mentioned areas. It will result in severe impacts due to persistent rain leading to flooding as well as strong damaging winds.

B. Heatwave conditions, with persistently high temperatures exceeding average maximum, are expected over the Dawid Kruiper and Kai !Garib local municipalities of the Northern Cape until Sunday. Under these conditions, prolong exposure to the midday sun poses health risks; hence, is advisable to seek shades and keep hydrated.
