The South African Weather Services (SAWS) has issued a cold front warning for this weekend. Temperatures are expected to plummet in many parts of the country.

Due to the intense cut-off low system, extreme weather conditions will affect many areas starting in the Western Cape from Saturday.

“By Monday, 9 June 2025 and Tuesday, 10 June 2025, this extensive and severe winter weather system will have shifted further east over South Africa, affecting the central and eastern provinces.

“A significant and dramatic drop in daytime temperatures can be expected over all provinces, with the possible exception of Limpopo. Consequently, farmers of small stock are strongly advised to implement appropriate measures to prevent stock losses due to exposure to bitter cold and wind,” the SAWS said.

When will the cold front make its way to Gauteng?

Temperatures are expected to drop significantly in the northern parts of the country by Monday. The weather service has warned of snowfall over almost every province, except for Limpopo.

There is a risk of severe thunderstorms, potentially accompanied by damaging hail and winds in several provinces, including North West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and KwaZulu-Natal, on Monday and Tuesday.
