Forecaster Wiseman Dlamini says the change in weather is due to a cut-off low-pressure system passing through this afternoon.

 

"In areas over Ugu district, they have a level 4 warning for disruptive rainfall once again. 


Yesterday, they already received 40 mm of rainfall and for this morning, areas like Paddock which is in the south coast, had about 50 mm of rain. More is expected this afternoon and evening."

Those in Richards Bay need to be aware about a level 2 alert.


Damaging wind and waves are expected which could lead to a disruption of beach and harbour activities.


Dlamini says a level 2 warning has been issued for the south-eastern and north-western interior today for disruptive rain and severe thunderstorms that could lead to flooding.


"With the system, it's very fast moving, and we expect the system to clear quickly in such a way, that tomorrow we do not expect any rain."
