The Western Cape can expect some cold weather ahead with snow on the mountain tops, as well as a significant downpours for the rest of today. Cold temperatures should subside by the weekend.
Good morning! The low level cloud/fog observed in the E-parts where evening showers are expected but mostly fine over the interior otherwise partly cloudy with showers in the southwest as the cold front makes landfall. Snowfall is possible over the mountains of the WC. @ReenvalSA pic.twitter.com/bHarBYAuXc
