The South African Weather Service has issued warnings for heatwaves, wind and veld fires in parts of the Western Cape on Saturday.
“Extremely high fire danger conditions are expected over the interior of Namakwa of the Northern Cape and the Witzenberg, Laingsburg and Breede Valley municipalities of the Western Cape,” the statement reads.
“Hot and humid weather will lead to extremely uncomfortable conditions over the Central and Little Karoo of the Western Cape.”
Temperatures in Cape Town are forecasted to reach up to 27°C. Uppington could reach up to 37°C.
Stay hydrated and be conscious of heatstroke symptoms, including faintness and nausea. We urge you to ensure that pets have access to water, and remember, if the ground is too hot for your feet, it’s too hot for paws.
