A powerful cold front is expected to move across South Africa starting on Sunday, bringing a mix of severe weather conditions, including snow, heavy rain and bitterly cold temperatures, according to authorities. Alongside the drop in temperatures, the system is forecast to bring damaging winds and rough seas. The combination of heavy rainfall and strong winds raises the risk of localised flooding, while hazardous travel conditions are also expected due to snow and poor weather visibility. Authorities warn that road conditions may deteriorate and that disruptions to essential services, including power outages, could occur in areas affected by the extreme winds and storm conditions. South Africans are being urged to take precautions and monitor official updates as the front moves through the country. The overall forecast focuses on public safety risks linked to flooding, dangerous travel and damage from strong winds, with the weather impact expected to develop from Sunday onward.
