Sea rescuers have already responded to three emergency incidents along the Western Cape coastline as the first of three cold fronts made landfall in the province on Thursday.
With a second cold front expected to arrive on Friday afternoon, National Sea Rescue Institute spokesperson Craig Lambinon warned the public that lulls between storms may give the false impression that the coastlines are safe.
“Roadways are flooded across the city, notably in Tokai, Ravensmead, Kuils River and Mitchells Plain. Transport is clearing roadways. Trees have been uprooted in Kloof Street in Clifton,” she said. The SA Weather Service tweeted that municipalities in the Eastern Cape could expect snow of up to 15cm.
“A third large cold front forecast for Monday is being monitored by the SA Weather Service,” said Lambinon.
