South Africans can expect a mix of cool, cloudy and partly cloudy conditions on Tuesday as a cold front brushes the Western Cape while isolated showers and thundershowers develop across parts of the central interior.

The Western Cape will be the wettest province, with a 60% chance of rain over the south-western parts, including the Cape Town region, and a 30% chance of showers further north and west.

Conditions will remain cloudy and cool to cold, with fresh to strong north-westerly winds along the west coast before turning south-westerly later in the day as the cold front moves through.

Across the central interior, including parts of the Free State, North West, Northern Cape and the northern areas of the Eastern Cape, a 30% chance of showers and thundershowers is expected during the afternoon. Morning fog patches may develop in places before clearing.
