Howzit Mpumalanga, this working week starts damp and builds up before easing off. Mbombela opens on Monday with drizzle and a cool 14 to 24 degrees, then Tuesday brings rain showers and a warmer 27. Wednesday is the pick of the week, mostly clear and reaching 29 degrees. Thursday cools back down with drizzle around 27, and Friday turns slight rain with a noticeably cooler high of just 20.
Over in Emalahleni you can expect showers and thundershowers early, then rain showers, before it settles into mostly clear skies. Ermelo starts with fog, moves through rain showers, and finishes partly cloudy. With the wet start and that Ermelo fog, keep headlights on and give yourself extra following distance on the morning commute. Enjoy that clear Wednesday while it lasts.
