Disruptive rainfall is expected to lash parts of KZN starting on Sunday afternoon.
Forecaster Samkelo Thwala says the showers could continue until Monday, potentially leading to flooded roads and settlements.
She says a 60 to 80 per cent chance of rainfall is expected in several provinces including KZN and the Eastern Cape.
"The rainfall distribution on Monday is anticipated to remain scattered over the central and eastern parts of the country. These conditions will most likely be accompanied by persistent, disruptive rainfall and localised flooding.
"This will be over the North West, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the western part of Limpopo."
