A cold front is set to make landfall over the southwestern parts of South Africa tomorrow afternoon, heralding the arrival of a severe mid-latitude cyclone currently swirling over the South Atlantic Ocean.
With the cold-core system’s approach, local authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and prepare for extreme weather conditions that could disrupt daily life across affected regions.
The satellite image captured at 17:20 today reveals the cold front’s advance over central South Africa, indicating that adverse weather is imminent.
As the system moves eastward, those in its path can expect a barrage of heavy rain and potential thunderstorms, exacerbated by intense cold, strong winds, rough seas, and even snow in higher altitudes.
The South African Weather Service has warned that the most intense part of the cyclone will track south of the country but will still impact the southwestern coast significantly.
This could lead to dangerous conditions, particularly for maritime activities, as rough seas threaten small vessels in the area.
Local meteorologists are advising anyone within potentially affected areas to heed all weather warnings, stay informed about updates, and prepare for possible disruptions to travel, power outages, and flooding.
Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items, avoid unnecessary travel during severe conditions, and keep emergency supplies on hand.
