The South African Weather Service has forecast mostly fine and cold to cool conditions across the country on Tuesday, with isolated showers and thundershowers expected in parts of the Western and Northern Cape.

Most of South Africa is set for another cold winter’s day on Tuesday, with largely fine and dry conditions expected across the country. However, parts of the Western Cape and Northern Cape could see isolated showers and thundershowers, with a 30% chance of rain forecast over north-western areas.

The South African Weather Service says no severe weather warnings have been issued for Tuesday, although extremely high fire danger conditions are expected in the Karoo Hoogland Local Municipality in the Northern Cape and the Laingsburg Local Municipality in the Western Cape.

In the Western Cape, partly cloudy conditions are expected, with patches of morning fog along the west and south-west coast. Cloud cover will increase during the afternoon, bringing a 30% chance of isolated showers and thundershowers to north-western parts of the province.

Temperatures will remain cool, while north-westerly winds are expected to strengthen along the west coast later in the day.
