Heat, hail, heavy rain and excessive lightning are forecast for much of South Africa on Thursday, 5 November, according to the South African Weather Service. A yellow Level 4 warning has been issued for severe thunderstorms that could cause flooding and damage in Gauteng, Mpumalanga Highveld, central-southern Limpopo, eastern Free State and North West, and KwaZulu-Natal (except the extreme northeast), with potential disruptions to power supply and communications due to strong winds and small hail.

A yellow Level 2 warning is in place for similar conditions in southern Limpopo, Mpumalanga escarpment, central and western North West and Free State, and northern Eastern Cape. A yellow Level 1 warning has been issued for damaging interior winds in eastern Northern Cape, northern Eastern Cape, and parts of North West, Gauteng, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga, leading to localized damage to settlements, transport routes, and travel services.

Extremely high fire danger is expected in the Northern Cape, most of the Western Cape, most of Eastern Cape, and parts of North West, Gauteng, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga. Hot and humid weather is expected to create extremely uncomfortable conditions in eastern KwaZulu-Natal.
