Cold temperatures, widespread rainfall and flooding continues over parts of South Africa

In a recent report regarding the consequences of the storm in Cape Town, the City’s Disaster Risk Management told SA media outlet Independent Online that nearly 3,000 structures suffered damage by the gale-force winds, heavy rainfall, and thunderstorms that have battered the Western Cape.

This as extreme weather conditions continue along South Africa’s southern and eastern coasts until Wednesday. Officials reported storms with heavy rain and strong winds hitting the coastal province of Western Cape, including Cape Town, resulting in at least one fatality on Monday. The South African Weather Service has issued warnings, indicating that tropical moisture originating from neighbouring countries will traverse the central and eastern interior before reaching the Western Cape’s interior on and exiting along its southern coast on Tuesday.
