Fog is the story to start the day across Johannesburg and Cape Town, so give yourself a little extra time on the roads until it lifts, while Durban stays mostly clear and Gqeberha climbs to a warm 32 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Mbombela can expect some drizzle and Polokwane holds onto its cloud, but the bigger concern is an extreme veld fire warning, so please take real care with anything that could spark a blaze in the dry, windy conditions. Tomorrow looks set to carry a similar mix of morning mist and mild-to-warm afternoons across much of the country.
⚠️ Weather Warnings TL;DR
- Veld Fire Conditions (Warning Level 10) – Laingsburg, valid until 20:59 on 9 September.
