        Intense cold front to reach Western Cape on Friday 21st of June 2019

An intense cold front is expected to reach the country by Friday afternoon, resulting in adverse weather conditions for the Western Cape, according to a media release by Weather SA.

Strong westerly to north-westerly winds (40 - 60 km/h) can be expected from the morning onwards over the entire Western Cape Province, ahead of the arrival of the cold front. Moreover, gale force winds (60 - 75 km/h, gusting 80 - 100 km/h) can also be expected in places over the Central Karoo, Breede River Valley districts and Cape Peninsula. Gale force winds associated with the passage of the cold front are also anticipated on Friday along the coast between Table Bay and Plettenberg Bay. These strong, gusty winds may result in damage to settlements and infrastructure, transport routes and travel services being affected by falling trees, blowing dust as well as strong crosswinds, which could lead to longer travel times, as well as closure of susceptible and key routes.

The public should take heed of the following watches issued by the South African Weather Service:

1. Heavy rain is expected over Cape Winelands, Overberg and Cape Metropole of the Western Cape on Friday.

2. Localised urban flooding is expected over Cape Winelands, Overberg and Cape Metropole of the Western Cape on Friday.

3. Strong to gale force winds are expected over the Central Karoo District, Breede River Valley and along the coastal regions between Cape Point and Plettenberg Bay on Friday, spreading to Port Alfred and the adjacent interior on Saturday.

4. High seas with wave heights in excess of 6m is expected between Cape Point and Cape Agulhas on Friday evening, spreading towards Port Elizabeth on Saturday morning.
In addition, there is also an advisory for very cold conditions (daytime temperatures less than 10 °C) over the southern Namaqua district, Northern Cape as well as the Cape Winelands and Central Karoo regions of the Western Cape on Saturday.

Stay indoors, keep warm and wrap up on Friday.
