According to forecaster Mike Berridge: “In the south-west we see the approach of a mid-latitude cyclone TROUGH “LK” containing a strong cold front “F7”. There is a weaker PRE-FRONT “Fp7” which will maintain cool conditions along the Cape west coast. In the southern Cape coastal regions, the trough will enforce a hot berg wind situation in the north-eastern corner of the trough. The hot zone is marked with orange shading and red wind arrows.
