Residents in flood-prone areas of the Western Cape are urged to stay alert as heavy rains cause disruptions.
A powerful weather system will dominate South Africa on Wednesday, bringing widespread rain, dangerous flooding, strong winds, rough seas and snowfall to parts of the country.
The worst conditions are expected across the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, where heavy and persistent rainfall will continue to pose a significant threat.
The Eastern Cape faces the highest risk of severe weather, with a 100% chance of rain across parts of the southern and coastal regions. Heavy downpours are expected to cause flooding of roads, bridges and low-lying areas, while fast-flowing rivers and streams could become dangerous.
Areas including Nelson Mandela Bay, Kouga, Koukamma, Sundays River Valley, Buffalo City and surrounding municipalities remain under high-level warnings for disruptive rainfall. Rain chances range from 60% to 100% across much of the province, decreasing towards the far northeast.
