Thursday's weather: Light rain, cloudy and cold conditions in most regions
Light rain and cold conditions are forecast for at least seven provinces, according to the South African Weather Service (SAWS).
A warning of damaging winds has been issued for some parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
Impact-based warnings
Yellow Level 1 warning: Damaging winds in KwaZulu-Natal (Port Edward to Kosi Bay), which may result in localised disruption in small harbours or ports, risk of small vessels taking on water or capsizing, and difficulty in navigation expected.
In the SAWS' colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness.
SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Level 1 is medium, Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
