Weather warnings for 24 March 2026

Impact-based warnings

The weather service has issued a yellow level 4 warning for severe thunderstorms with heavy downpours in the eastern parts of Mpumalanga and northern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

This could result in flooding of low-lying bridges and roads, excessive lightning and small amounts of hail, and damage to infrastructure and settlements due to strong damaging winds.

Meanwhile, similar conditions are expected over the central and western parts of KwaZulu-Natal, the southern parts and escarpment areas of Mpumalanga, eastern parts of the Northern Cape, the Free State, and vast parts of the North West under a yellow level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms.

Saws has also issued a yellow level 1 warning for damaging wind resulting in localised disruption of small harbours or ports between Oyster Bay and East London in the Eastern Cape.

Small boats could experience difficulty in navigation with a risk of taking in water and capsizing in a locality.

Fire danger warnings

Extremely high fire danger conditions are expected over the Nama-Khoi Municipality of the Northern Cape, and the Matzikama and Cederberg Municipalities of the Western Cape.

Advisories

Saws has also warned of very hot and uncomfortable conditions in places over the Namakwa District Municipality in the Northern Cape and West Coast District in the Western Cape, including the Cape Winelands, Cape Metropole, Overberg and the Little Karoo.
