Level 2 weather warning for Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KZN

The SA Weather Service issued a level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal on Monday.

A waterway in Lamontville in KwaZulu-Natal remained obstructed after a heavy downpour, exacerbating issues from the previous week's torrential downpour when six individuals were swept away by floods along Gwala Street.

The SA Weather Service (Saws) issued a level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal on Monday.

The forecast warns residents to brace for thunderstorms with heavy downpours resulting in localised flooding, damaging winds and hail.

“Severe thunderstorms with heavy downpours resulting in localised flooding are forecast. Be cautious of strong and damaging winds, excessive lightning and large amounts of small hail,” Saws said.

“The conditions are expected over the central parts and escarpment of Mpumalanga, extreme southeastern parts of Limpopo and western parts of KwaZulu-Natal.”

This comes after extreme adverse weather conditions in Gauteng last week and flooding in KwaZulu-Natal two weeks ago.
