Warm weather expected in most provinces on Monday

Most parts of the country are expected to be warm on Monday, while coastal parts are warned of winds and waves.

The South African Weather Service (Saws) said the damaging Coastal winds and waves can be expected between Plettenberg Bay and Port St Johns in the Western Cape.

The winds and waves may result in localised difficulty in navigating small vessels, with a risk of some vessels taking on water and capsizing within a particular area.

Saws also issued a warning for damaging interior winds between Plettenberg Bay, in the Western Cape and Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape.

These winds may result in localised damage to temporary structures, localised disruption of small harbours/ports and localised traffic disruptions.
