Last updated: Saturday 19 September 2026, 19:10 SAST – the warnings and advisories below were refreshed after SAWS issued a new high-level alert.
Spring is settling in across Limpopo this week, and Polokwane sets the pace nicely. We open on the cooler, cloudy side around 12 to 24 degrees on the 14th, then warm up as rain showers arrive on the 15th and skies clear a touch by the 16th at 28 degrees. From the 17th onwards the showers and thundershowers roll in, and temperatures ease back down towards 13 to 20 degrees by the 19th. The 20th brings high level clouds to close things off.
Further north and east it stays warmer and drier. Tzaneen sits around the high twenties with a bit of drizzle early before clearing, Thohoyandou climbs to about 31 degrees, and Musina bakes near 33 degrees under mostly clear skies. With those midweek thundershowers about, keep a light raincoat handy if you are out and about in and around Polokwane.
