Hot weather continues across parts of South Africa, with a heatwave reported for Limpopo on Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to reach around 36°C in Richards Bay and about 35°C in Musina, while Gauteng, the Free State and North West are forecast to remain dry under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies.
Outlets also agree that rain is more likely in coastal and southern areas. Several reports say scattered showers and rain will affect the Western Cape, with some coverage extending this to parts of the Eastern Cape. Coverage differs on emphasis and detail: some mention windy conditions and overall hot-to-warm conditions elsewhere, while others focus on the heatwave’s persistence and timing into the week.
There is also shared attention to fire risk. One outlet specifically highlights extremely high fire danger linked to the hot spell. Another frames the story as a regional heatwave alert, indicating it is expected to continue until Friday, reflecting a longer view than those focusing only on Wednesday’s outlook.
