Good morning from home. It is a mixed bag across South Africa today, with spring making its presence felt. Gauteng and Limpopo can expect showers and thundershowers, while Mpumalanga sees rain showers and KwaZulu-Natal gets slight rain. The Western Cape stays clear and bright, and the Free State, North West and Northern Cape enjoy partly cloudy skies. The Eastern Cape looks cloudy, so a light jacket may be handy for those in Gqeberha.

North West takes the warmth crown at 31°C in Mahikeng, while Bloemfontein and Kimberley share the chilliest start at 9°C. The wettest spots are Gauteng and Limpopo with their thundershowers. Happily, the South African Weather Service has no active warnings today.
