Brace yourselves, winter is. well, it s not just coming. It s actually here. A cold snap has embedded itself in the central interior of the country, but chillier conditions are yet to reach us here in South Africa. Through Wednesday 2 June, a lesser-spotted Level 5 snow warning will be in place for several rural regions.
The SA Weather Service made the announcement on their social media pages earlier this afternoon. In total, four districts have been slapped with an orange alert , due to potentially disruptive snow showers. Mountain passes along the Drakensberg Range expected to be closed ahead of schedule, and drivers are asked to make alternative plans.
