Temperatures to plummet countrywide

Radithupa Radithupa told Mmegi yesterday that temperatures in the southern parts of the country would dip as low as negative three degrees Celsius, while other areas would also experience colder weather.

“There’s a cold front passing through the south-western parts of South Africa such as Cape Town and Port Elizabeth,” he said. “Ahead of that front, there’s warm air that is giving them rain, but behind it is very cold air. “That cold air is travelling up the sub-continent into Botswana and dropping temperatures, especially in the south. The cold air is modified as it moves over land, becoming less cold in the north.”
