Weather Warning - SA Coastal & Interior + New Climate Records

Gale force southeasterlies (35kts or 65km/h) are expected in places between Cape Point and Plettenberg Bay. Heavy falls of rain and showers in places over the south-eastern part of Northern Cape, southern and central Free State and the eastern part of Eastern Cape. Hot and humid conditions which may lead to dangerously high levels of discomfort are expected over the northern coast of KwaZulu-Natal.

NVDL: The rain must blow now - in the Cape - and get it over with. I've heard reports that PE and Bloem are insufferably hot, and PE is having a lot of violent stormy weather.
