The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has warned of severe thunderstorms on Monday in the northeastern regions of the Western Cape and Namaqua.

These storms, according to SAWS, are expected to develop over the Central Karoo, Cape Winelands, Garden Route, and Overberg districts from Sunday night into the morning.

This development may bring heavy rainfall of 20mm to 40mm, leading to potential disruptions.

Residents are cautioned about flooding risks on roads and in vulnerable areas, and the danger of crossing fast-flowing streams.

SAWS also warned that hailstones due to heavy downpours could damage vehicles and create hazardous driving conditions.

“Severe thunderstorms may develop particularly over the Central Karoo, Cape Winelands, Garden Route and Overberg districts tonight [Sunday] continuing into the morning.

“The thunderstorms may produce quick and heavy downpours of 20mm to 40mm over a short time, leading to disruptions,” SAWS stated.
