Gauteng to experience sunny days and cold nights
Gauteng residents can expect sunny skies and mild daytime temperatures, but forecasters warn that nights will be cold.
Gauteng will enjoy sunny daytime weather under clear skies, but nighttime temperatures will drop sharply this week.
Although the cold front sweeping through the Western Cape won’t affect the region, forecasters are urging residents to brace for cold mornings and evenings.
According to Mpho Rasimphi, a weather forecaster, “Gauteng will remain mostly clear, with Johannesburg reaching highs of around 19 degrees. However, temperatures will drop significantly at night.”
This pattern continues from the trend of stable conditions over Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
No Rainfall for Gauteng as Cold Front Moves Elsewhere
The cold front sweeping through the Western Cape will not directly impact Gauteng. Instead, Gauteng and its surrounding provinces will stay mostly cloud-free.
“Tomorrow is going to be a clear day for Gauteng,” Rasimphi explained.
“While parts of the Northern and Eastern Cape face damaging winds, Gauteng will enjoy stable and dry conditions.”
Prepare for Cold Early Mornings
Although the days will be pleasant, the evenings and early mornings could be uncomfortable. Bethlehem, located nearby in the Free State, is expected to have a minimum temperature of -3°C.
Rasimphi noted, “Over parts of central South Africa, including areas near Gauteng, overnight temperatures will hover around zero. It’s going to be a relatively chilly night.”
