Cold front hits Joburg this weekend

The South African Weather Service warns of a cold front approaching Gauteng this weekend.

Temperatures are expected to reach a minimum of 10 degrees celsius.

Reports claim that from Monday and Tuesday temperatures will be extremely cold and will only recover next week Thursday and Friday.

Cape Town is experiencing heavy rainfall and a cold front with expected snowfall in the Western Cape. Rain is also expected in KwaZulu –Natal later on this week.

The last period when a cold front hit Joburg was in mid June and was also attributed to the low temperatures in Cape Town.
