Johannesburg should prepare for cold weather expected to hit on Wednesday (27 May).
According to a statement released by the South African Weather Service, “South Africans can expect a chilly start to the coming week as surface temperatures are expected to drop significantly on Monday, 25 May into Tuesday. Adding to the recent two snow events over the Eastern Cape and Lesotho, which included QwaQwa in the Free State during the second event, the mountains of the Western Cape and the extreme south-western areas of the Northern Cape are about to experience the first snow of 2020.”

Johannesburg however, will only see the cold come Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures reaching a high of 13 degrees and a low of 0 degrees.
