Municipalities in the Eastern Cape are expected to experience cloudy conditions in places over the interior, with morning fog.
Otherwise, conditions will be fine and cool to cold, becoming very cold along the Drakensberg and adjacent areas.
The municipalities include Emalahleni, Sakhisizwe, Senqu, Elundini and Matatiele Local Municipalities.
“The wind along the coast will be light to moderate north-easterly, freshening from the south in the afternoon,” SAWS said.
The weather service has issued a Yellow Level 2 warning for damaging winds, which could cause localised damage to temporary structures and reduce visibility due to dust storms.
These conditions are expected over the northern parts of the West Coast District and the Witzenberg Local Municipality in the Western Cape, as well as the Namakwa District in the Northern Cape.
“Evening fog along the coast, otherwise fine and cool to warm in the west, otherwise partly cloudy, windy and cool to cold in the east of the Northern Cape,” SAWS said.
Winds along the coast will be moderate to fresh easterly to north-easterly, becoming light to moderate north-westerly from the afternoon.
SAWS further warned that extremely high fire danger conditions are expected over the Nama-Khoi and Hantam Local Municipalities in the Northern Cape, as well as the Matzikama and Cederberg Local Municipalities in the Western Cape.
Meanwhile, the weather outlook for Friday and Saturday indicates fine, cold conditions across the central parts of the country.
On Friday, partly cloudy and cool conditions are expected elsewhere, with isolated showers along the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal. -SAnews.gov.za
