The Western Cape will bear the first impact of this system, with increasing cloud cover signaling the end of the sunny spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Wednesday 2 July, the cold front is forecast to reach its peak intensity. The Western and Southern Cape will experience the most dramatic shift from the week&#8217;s sunny beginning, with scattered showers becoming increasingly likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the cold front dominates the southern regions, other parts of the country will experience a more gradual transition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo&nbsp;will maintain mostly fine but increasingly cold conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>North eastern areas\u00a0face only a 10% chance of light rain or drizzle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Morning fog patches&nbsp;may develop in low-lying areas, requiring extra caution for early commuters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Indian Ocean coastline, including Durban and Richards Bay, will experience cool and windy conditions from Tuesday, with possible isolated showers midweek and sustained winds of up to 40 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Todays weather outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pretoria\">PRETORIA:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine and cool.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 04\/19<br>The expected UVB Sunburn Index: High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-johannesburg\">JOHANNESBURG:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 04\/18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vereeniging\">VEREENIGING:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 04\/18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mbombela\">MBOMBELA:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly cloudy.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 06\/22<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POLOKWANE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly cloudy at first, otherwise fine.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 04\/18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAHIKENG:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine becoming partly cloudy and windy.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 04\/20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VRYBURG:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine becoming partly cloudy and windy.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 03\/20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BLOEMFONTEIN:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine and windy.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 00\/19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KIMBERLEY:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine becoming partly cloudy and windy.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 07\/21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UPINGTON:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine and windy.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 05\/22<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CAPE TOWN:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly cloudy, becoming cloudy with light evening rain.<br>Wind: Moderate northerly to north-westerly.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 12\/17<br>The expected UVB Sunburn Index: Low<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GEORGE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine, becoming partly cloudy from the afternoon.<br>Wind: Light to moderate northerly to north-westerly, becoming<br>light to moderate south-westerly from late afternoon.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 08\/25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GQEBERHA:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine.<br>Wind: Light to moderate northerly<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 08\/26<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EAST LONDON:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine.<br>Wind: Light to moderate north easterly<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 13\/25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DURBAN:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly cloudy in the morning, otherwise fine.<br>Wind: Light north-westerly in the morning, otherwise moderate<br>to fresh north-easterly.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 10\/24<br>The expected UVB Sunburn Index: High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RICHARDS BAY:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly cloudy in the morning, otherwise fine.<br>Wind: Moderate to fresh northerly to north-easterly.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 13\/25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PIETERMARITZBURG:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fine.<br>Minimum\/Maximum: 04\/23<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Africa started off the week with a welcome period of mild winter sunshine, with sunny skies and pleasant conditions dominating across the country.
