Now, for the part you’ve been waiting for – the province-by-province breakdown:
- Gauteng: Expect partly cloudy skies with warm to hot temperatures. Isolated showers and thundershowers could develop in the afternoon. Residents should prepare for persistently high temperatures due to the heatwave advisory in effect.
- Mpumalanga: Morning fog patches over the escarpment are likely, clearing to partly cloudy conditions. It will be warm but hotter over the Lowveld. The heatwave conditions may contribute to uncomfortably high temperatures, especially in areas away from the coast.
