• News & Highlights

Pretoria - Today will be the last day of the heatwave during which Tshwane has had the highest temperatures in the province.

The South African Weather Services (SAWS) said the heatwave affected Gauteng, Mpumalanga, the Free State, Northern Cape, Limpopo and North West.

Weather forecaster Kumsa Masizana said a heatwave was usually associated with temperatures remaining constant over a certain period.

She said that the dry air experienced since the weekend had brought the high temperatures.

“On Tuesday it will become partly cloudy in the afternoon and temperatures will go as high as 37°C. Temperatures will start to drop slightly on Wednesday, and we will possibly have partly cloudy conditions,” she said.
