Traffic volumes are expected to increase as holidaymakers travel back home.

Forecaster Venetia Phakula says there is a moderate risk of severe weather conditions.

“From KZN to Gauteng, we are seeing a 60% chance of showers and thundershowers. We are seeing it mainly in the afternoon. There are areas in Mpumalanga province that are experiencing thunderstorms at the moment, but we expect them to start moderating. Most of the rain we are expecting is in the afternoon. There is a yellow level one alert out for KZN for today, though we will continue monitoring it.”
