Maluleke says the downpours are expected to continue into Friday. 

 

He says the wet weather is linked to a passing cold front.

 

"Areas over the Drakensberg, you might get maximum temperatures in the region of less than 10 degrees. 


"Along the coastal areas - Durban side, you might have temperatures of about 20 degrees which is quite low and cold for Durban temperatures."
