The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued a warning of severe thunderstorms for Thursday in Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
These weather conditions are expected to cause localised flooding, small hail and wind damages due to a cut off low pressure system moving over the region.
“Rainfall amounts up to 15 to 20mm in an hour is expected in some places. Maximum temperatures are also expected to be low due to the cut off low pressure system's core moving over Gauteng,” SAWS said.
