Today’s Weather: Clear inland with light coastal rain – 11 September
Mostly clear and mild across South Africa today, with slight rain expected in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape and no weather warnings currently in effect.
South Africa enjoys a largely settled spring day this Friday, with clear to mostly clear skies stretching across the interior in Johannesburg, Polokwane, Mahikeng and Kimberley, where afternoon temperatures climb comfortably into the mid-to-high twenties. Along the eastern and southern coasts the picture is a little damper, with slight rain expected in Durban and Gqeberha and cooler, cloudier conditions in Mbombela, while Cape Town sits partly cloudy with a pleasant high of 24 degrees. There are no weather warnings in place from the South African Weather Service today, so it’s a calm and generally mild day countrywide.
