Freezing levels are expected to drop significantly from Sunday into next week 18 – 21 September 2022. Our advanced weather modelling continues to show very good chances of widespread snowfall starting Sunday through to Wednesday next week.
THIS IS AN ADVANCED FORECAST AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
A cold front and upper-level trough system will bring cold, wet weather and spring snow to South Africa. We even see the potential for our first cut off low for the season to develop and this would be notably very early too.
Our advanced weather models currently show light snowfall, 5+ cm, possible over the mountains of the Western Cape and mountainous areas in the Karoo on Sunday and then spreading to the north-eastern high ground of the Eastern Cape.
Snow is also expected to fall in Sutherland and the Southern karoo areas of the Northern Cape.
Snow flurries are possible in the Matroosberg Nature Reserve with most snow falling over the peaks of the Cederberg Mountain Range.
Thundersnow storms are also possible on Monday into Tuesday over the Eastern Cape, Drakensberg, Southern Drakensberg (Underberg) & Lesotho
Light snow flurries are possible towns in the Eastern Cape like Barkley East, Hogsback, Graaff-Reinet, Molteno, New Bethesda, Dordrecht and surrounding areas close to the southern Drakensberg with Underberg and surrounds standing a chance of finally seeing some snowfall.
Lesotho is expected to see significant amounts of snowfall with 20cm+ possible over most of the Lesotho mountains, Sani Pass, Afriski, Tiffendel and most of the Drakensberg mountain range. Ground snow also possible at the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg (Underberg/Himeville) and most of the Maloti-Drakensberg Park.
Our weather models also indicate snowfall from Tuesday into Wednesday across the escarpment into extreme Southern Mpumalanga and ground level snow also possible across the Eastern Free State. If this forecast stays on track Van Reenen’s, Harrismith and Bethlehem are just some towns that could possibly see snow.
As this is an early forecast we will keep you updated.
