IN PICS,: Gauteng in a snow globe as temperatures drop
JOHANNESBURG - The South African Weather Service (SAWS) says although it did not forecast any light snowfall or sleet for Monday, evidence of cold weather events have proven otherwise. Johannesburg residents took to social media, posting live footage of light snow in areas including Sandton, Soweto, Heidelberg, and Roodepoort
On Sunday night, a cold front swept over the country, dropping temperatures to the negatives in some parts.
SAWS forecaster Puseletso Mofokeng said the weather service would be adjusting its forecast to include a 30% chance of showers, including potential snow over Gauteng.
“The South African Weather Service did not anticipate potential development of any precipitation across the Gauteng province, however, sleet and light snow is occurring. This will be added to the previous forecast for the eastern parts of Mpumalanga, where we are expecting snowfall there, including KwaZulu-Natal. But the heaviest snow is still expected to occur in the northern areas of the Eastern Cape,” Mofokeng explained.
