The South African Weather Service has warned of high fire danger conditions in parts of the Western Cape, Northern Cape and the Eastern Cape.

Impact-based warnings

A yellow level 2 warning for damaging waves, resulting in the possibility of coastal users being swept off rocks and difficulty in navigation at sea, can be expected between Saldanha Bay and Cape Agulhas.

Fire danger warnings

Extremely high fire danger conditions are expected over the extreme north-eastern parts of the Western Cape, the central parts of the Northern Cape and the western and central interiors of the Eastern Cape.
