The first of two cold fronts this week have made landfall in the south western parts of the Western Cape bringing with it widespread showers, cold conditions and strong winds.

A forecaster at the Cape Town Weather Bureau, Khanyisa Makubalo, says the current cold front will spread along the South Coast on Wednesday before another cold front hits the Cape on Friday.

While a yellow level 4, for strong winds, between Table Bay and Plettenberg Bay coastline for Tuesday and Wednesday. Another cold front is expected to make landfall early Friday morning which could yield similar conditions as to what we’re experiencing at the moment.”
