The Oudtshoorn Municipality's Disaster Management advised of a total fire ban for the Greater Oudtshoorn Municipal area until Friday.
"During this time, the municipality has asked that people be careful with making open fires. No controlled burnings are allowed during this week, including refuse areas on farms, as the predicted weather conditions may lead to runaway veld fires," it said. The Mossel Bay Municipality also warned its residents of the potential for extremely hot conditions between Monday and Thursday.
"Please remember that Mossel Bay Municipality does not allow any controlled burns as per the embargo of 15 November 2019. The situation will be assessed at the end of February 2020," it said. Engelbrecht said that preliminary forecasting information suggested that hot conditions were expected to return to parts of the Western Cape and Northern Cape on Tuesday. Updated information, however, would be provided by SAWS closer to the time.Monday, 13 Jan 2020 – 38 degreesThursday, 16 Jan 2020 – Between 42 and 47 degrees
