As the New Year approaches, and Cape Town is in the heart of summer, the SA Weather Service (Saws) has predicted gradually warmer temperatures and clear skies in the Cape, issuing weather warnings for some parts of the Western Cape.
Thursday is said to see a maximum temperature of 21°C, Friday 26°C, Saturday 27 °C, and 28 °C on Sunday.

Saws also issued weather warnings for extremely high fire danger conditions in Matzikama, and damaging winds between Alexander Bay and Hermanus.
Cape Town Weather Office said: “The warmer, wetter and more humid days were due to two weather systems (cut-off lows).”
Earlier this month, we had a case of an upper air cut-off low, which led to the cloudy conditions, heavy rain and thunderstorms the Western Cape faced.
For the next few days, however, the summer sun will be back and shining high. The beaches will likely be packed in response to the gorgeous weather.
