A cold-front is predicted to pass over the SW-Cape on Fri 7th, spreading east on Sat 8th, and covering almost the entire southern and central parts of SA by Sun 9th. Very cold daytime temperatures will occur, with snow over all the high mountain ranges (from the Cederberg to the Drakensberg). Long range forecasts indicate possible traces of sleet or snow over parts of the eastern Free State and Mpumalanga on Mon 10th (rather speculative).

This is the first proper cold front then for the year. Probably will see 2023 peak usage during this.

Yep, but the axpert says not S6 so methinks S5.

@Gordon_R , please check Roodepoort / Randburg as well if you have time (for Lupus).

The chart I posted doesn't have detailed resolution. I was just asking Joburg/Durban/etc. Anyway, you can get specific forecasts from yr.no for almost any location.

Yep, I find weather.com accurate and with lots of juicy detail, can even compare suburbs.

All depends on what breaks I guess. Stage 4 for sure.
