Eastern Cape's weather for the week, 26 September - 2 October 2026: Gqeberha and the province's main towns day by day, with SAWS warnings and advisories.
Kick off the week with a wet start in Gqeberha, where rain showers hang around from Saturday through Monday while temperatures sit in the mid to high teens. Things dip a touch by Monday before clearing up nicely on Tuesday and Wednesday, with mostly clear to clear skies and Wednesday climbing to a pleasant 21C. Thursday brings rain showers back with a warmer 25C, and Friday closes off with high level clouds. Across the province the early days lean damp, so keep the rain jacket handy.
Over in East London it stays showery through the week, cooling from 21C down to 17C. Mthatha and Queenstown both open with showers and thundershowers in the low to mid twenties before easing back into rain showers and cooler mid teens later on.
