Heavy rains expected in the eastern part of the country

As holidaymakers continue make their way home, heavy rain and thundershowers are expected to continue affecting the eastern parts of the country.

South African Weather Service (SAWS) forecaster, Tokelo Chiloane, told SAnews on Tuesday that 80% showers and thundershowers were expected across the eastern part of the country, including Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and KwaZulu-Natal, while 60% and 30% to zero rain was expected in other provinces.

“We have an Orange Level 5 weather warning for the Zululand District Municipality in KZN, which can lead to flooding. In the central and northern parts of KZN, we have a Yellow Level 4 warning for severe thunderstorms.

“When you move to Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and some parts of the Free State and Northern Cape, we are looking at Yellow Level 2 warning for thundershowers,” Chiloane said.

While a weather alert for Wednesday was still being finalised, Chiloane said heavy rainfall was expected, mostly in the confirmed eastern part of the country, including Mpumalanga and Limpopo, where 80% chance of showers and thundershowers were expected.

“Sixty percent rain is expected in the northern parts of Gauteng and some parts of KZN, and 30% in other parts of the country,” Chiloane said. – SAnews.gov.za

  1. A Priest was seated next to Van Der Merwe on a flight to Brakpan.

    After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.

    Van Der Merwe asked for a Rum and Coke, which was brought and placed before him.

    The flight attendant then asked the priest if he would like a drink.

    He replied in disgust \”I\’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.\”

    Van Der Merwe then handed his drink back to the attendant and said \”Me too, I didn\’t know we had a choice.\”
