From flooding to fires: Coastal provinces on high alert amid multiple severe weather warnings

A cold front is due to make landfall in the Western Cape on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape have been warned of increased risk of wildfires.

Multiple weather alerts are in place for South Africa's coastal provinces, leaving authorities on high alert for floods and fires.

In the Western Cape, an Orange Level 6 warning for damaging interior winds has been issued. The strong winds may result in the disruption of travel services and damage to settlements, and risk of runaway fires in large areas is expected over the Garden Route, eastern Overberg, eastern parts of the Cape Winelands and southern Central Karoo municipalities.

Areas in the Eastern Cape are also at risk, the South African Weather Services (SAWS) warned, including the Sarah Baartman District Municipality, Inxuba Yethemba Local Municipality and Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality.
