The rainfall will start to ease off in most parts of the country with isolated showers and thundershowers still expected in places over the north-eastern parts on Thursday, 17 April, with light showers and rain along the east and south-east coast.
“A surface trough, supported by an upper-air trough, will be situated over the western interior on Sunday, 20 April, resulting in isolated to scattered showers and thundershowers over the western interior, and the southern and south-eastern parts of the country on Sunday and Monday, 20 and 21 April.
