Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the country

Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the country 

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued weather alerts for severe thunderstorms that are likely to affect parts of Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga.

The weather service has issued a Yellow Level 4 warning for the three provinces that is valid from 9 am until 11 pm on Sunday.

The warning could lead to the flooding of roads, settlements and low-lying areas. It could also lead to traffic disruptions and damage to property and infrastructure.

“Tropical moisture is drawn in north of the country which will subsequently aid in the development of thunderstorms today, whereas there are areas that are already precipitating. This will result in adverse weather conditions over Mpumalanga as well as the southern parts of Limpopo.

“Due to the recent rains, there has been an increase in soil moisture, thus increase the vulnerability across the province,” the weather service said in a post on social media platform, X.

It further added that a Yellow Level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms has also been issued for most parts of Limpopo.

The impact of the warning includes localised flooding of susceptible low-lying areas and bridges, the possibility of the closure of low-lying roads and dirt roads, and poor driving conditions due to the pooling of water on roads and reduced visibility.

    One day Harry decided to stop the postman and ask him why he\’s always smiling and happy, what he did.

    the postman answered:\”Whenever I\’m handing a mail to a women I kisses her and I get more than just a kiss sometimes.\”

    A South African, an Australian and an Englishman are all having a drink

    The Englishman and South African both drink from Pint Glasses, the Australian from a bottle.

    The South African, upon draining his glass, drops in back down on the bar, pulls out a pistol, and shoots the glass.

    \”In South Africa, there is so much sand that I never drink from the same glass twice!\”

    The Australian, having drained his bottle, sets it down upon the bar and, upon seizing the South African\’s pistol, shoots his bottle.

    \”In Australia, there is so much booze that I never drink from the same brand twice!\”

    The Englishman, likewise having drained his glass, sets his glass upon the table, seizes the pistol the pistol from the Australian, and shoots the South African and the Australian, quite dead.

    \”In England, there are so many of you bastards that I never drink with the same two twice!\”
