Widespread showers are expected over the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal from Thursday into Friday.

Light snowfall is possible in the Drakensberg regions of Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal from early Friday and is expected to continue until Saturday.

The weather service has also issued a watch for disruptive rain in Eastern Cape from Thursday.

“Localised flooding to formal/informal settlements or roads, low-lying areas and bridges as well as traffic disruptions due to slippery roads and reduced visibility,” it said.

The rain is expected in East London, Burgersdorp, Fort Beaufort, Queenstown, and surrounding areas.

A yellow(L2) warning for disruptive rain leading to localized flooding of formal and informal settlements, infrastructure damage as well as disruptions to main roads has been issued.

This is expected over the central and eastern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
