Howzit Gauteng, we've got a properly wet and changeable week ahead. Things kick off on Monday the 14th with showers and thundershowers in Joburg, climbing to about 25C, before a cooler, rainy Tuesday around 22C. Wednesday the 16th brings a welcome break with mostly clear skies and 26C. From Thursday onwards the showers and thundershowers settle back in, and by Friday and Saturday it turns noticeably cooler, dropping to highs of just 19C in Joburg. Sunday the 20th eases off with high level clouds.
Pretoria stays a touch warmer through the week, reaching 29C on the clearer day, while Soweto and Vereeniging track closer to Joburg in the mid-20s. With so much rain about, keep a brolly and a light jacket handy, especially for those cooler, wet days towards the weekend.
