Limpopo is in for a hot, dry weekend under clear skies across the province. Polokwane climbs from 20C to 32C on Saturday, then eases slightly on Sunday with a range of 19C to 30C. The lowveld and far north run hotter still. Tzaneen reaches 33C on Saturday and 31C on Sunday, Thohoyandou peaks at 35C and then 34C, and Musina tops the list with 36C and 35C.
The weather service has veld fire warnings out for Thulamela and Thohoyandou, Musina, Blouberg and Alldays, and Lephalale. Please skip the open fires and take care with braais, cigarette ends and anything that could spark in the dry veld. Keep plenty of water handy, find shade during the hottest part of the afternoon, and check on older neighbours and pets.

How SAWS weather warning levels work
The South African Weather Service issues impact-based warnings. They say what the weather could do to people, roads and homes, not only how strong it will be. Each warning has a colour and a level from 1 to 10.
- Yellow (Levels 1 to 4): minor to moderate impact. Local disruption such as flooded streets, travel delays or damage to informal homes. Stay alert.
- Orange (Levels 5 to 8): significant impact. Major travel problems, power cuts, flooding in low-lying areas and damage to property are likely. Prepare and take action.
- Red (Levels 9 and 10): severe impact. Widespread flooding, washed-away roads, damaged buildings and danger to life. Take emergency precautions at once.
The number also reflects how likely the impact is, so two warnings of the same colour can differ in how likely they are to happen. Always follow SAWS and your local disaster management.
