1 hr agoThe South African Weather Service (SAWS) is warning holidaymakers and drivers of variable weather conditions ahead of the busy Easter travel period. Forecasters expect partly cloudy skies with isolated to scattered showers and thundershowers across various parts of the country on Thursday and Friday, especially in the western regions. Conditions will range from cool to warm in many areas and even hot in some pockets, making weather-awareness essential for safe journeys.
With increased traffic volumes anticipated on major routes, SAWS stresses that travellers should plan carefully and stay updated on changing weather patterns. Motorists are encouraged to remain vigilant in areas prone to thunderstorms and reduced visibility, which can affect driving conditions.
To stay ahead of sudden changes, SAWS is promoting the use of its WeatherSmart app — a tool to help monitor conditions in real time, identify potential lightning risks, and decide if it’s safer to delay travel.
Importantly, lightning awareness and preparedness are highlighted as key safety priorities during this period of isolated storms and showers. Travellers are urged to check official weather platforms regularly, take breaks where necessary, and ensure their journeys are guided by the latest forecasts and alerts.
