The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued multiple warnings, and if you thought you could just sit back and enjoy the sunshine, think again!

The Calm Before the Storm

As of late, KZN has been hit by a barrage of weather warnings, with reports of everything from light rain to full-fledged thunderstorms. But don’t let the drizzle fool you; it’s the calm before the storm, and that storm is not just a light shower. We’re talking about serious weather that could leave you stranded and your property damaged. You might want to start checking your insurance policy now because it’s about to get real.

What’s Happening Out There?

Residents are already feeling the impact, with reports of flooding leaving motorists stranded and disrupting daily life. SNL24 paints a grim picture of the situation, highlighting how the relentless rain is affecting even school exams. Talk about a double whammy!

Warnings Galore!

Here’s the scoop: the SAWS has dropped Yellow Level 4 warnings, and you better believe they’re not just for show. According to The Citizen, any impact may be minor, but it still could wreak havoc on settlements, property, and vehicles. It’s like nature's way of reminding us who’s boss!

Flooding and Its Furies

In Tshwane, emergency services are urging residents to heed the weather warnings, and if you think you can ignore that, think again! The City of Tshwane Emergency Services Department has issued a Yellow Level 2 warning. You don’t want to be the one saying, “I didn’t think it would be that bad!” when you’re knee-deep in water.

Expect the Unexpected

Stay Vigilant, Folks!

Even as KZN battles this relentless weather, authorities urge residents to stay alert. IOL reminds us that just because the rain has eased doesn’t mean you should let your guard down. Floods from previous downpours can still pose a significant threat, so keep your wits about you!
