Weather warning issued for Cape
Locals are advised to be careful when leaving the house on Friday, June 21 as an intense cold front will hit the Western Cape in the morning. As predicted by the South African Weather Services (SAWS), strong westerly to northwesterly winds with speeds of between 40 and 60 km per hour will usher in the cold front.
“Moreover, gale force winds can also be expected in places over the Central Karoo, Breede River Valley districts and Cape Peninsula. Gale force winds associated with the passage of the cold front are also anticipated on Friday along the coast between Table Bay and Plettenberg Bay,” SAWS said in a statement. “These strong, gusty winds may result in damage to settlements and infrastructure, transport routes and travel services being affected by falling trees, blowing dust as well as strong crosswinds, which could lead to longer travel times, as well as closure of susceptible and key routes.”
