SA Weather Warning | KZN disaster teams on high alert
The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government says disaster teams are on high alert in the province. That’s after a warning of yet another cold front and possible snow fall on Monday and Tuesday next week. Last week, thousands of motorists were stuck on the N3 highway for over 48 hours after a heavy snow fall rendered the roads impassable. One person…

I can't fathom it being that cold in South Africa to produce what looks like 2" to 3" of snow.

Take care please people
Blame global warming.

Snowfall in certain parts of South Africa during spring can be attributed to a combination of geographic, climatic, and atmospheric factors. While South Africa is mostly known for its warm climate, it has regions that experience cooler temperatures and even snow, particularly in mountainous areas. Here are the key reasons why snow can occur during spring:
1. Altitude and Topography:
High-altitude areas: South Africa has several high-altitude regions, especially in the Drakensberg Mountains and the Eastern Cape. Higher altitudes tend to be colder, even during spring, because the temperature decreases with elevation. This makes it possible for precipitation to fall as snow in these areas.
Topography: Mountain ranges can trap cold air masses, and when moisture-laden air rises and cools as it moves over these mountains, it can result in snow.
2. Cold Fronts:
During spring, cold fronts from the South Atlantic Ocean can occasionally sweep across South Africa, bringing cold, polar air masses from the Southern Ocean. These cold fronts often lower temperatures significantly, especially in higher altitudes, causing precipitation to fall as snow rather than rain.
Cold fronts tend to bring moisture with them, and when the temperature drops below freezing in high-altitude regions, it leads to snowfall.
3. Temperature Fluctuations in Transition Seasons:
Spring in South Africa is a transition season, which means temperatures can fluctuate significantly. While most of the country may be warming up, cold snaps are still possible as winter patterns fade away. A sudden drop in temperature, particularly in higher regions, can lead to unexpected snowfalls.
The weather patterns in spring are typically less stable compared to mid-summer, allowing for these occasional cold surges.
4. Proximity to Antarctica:
South Africa is relatively close to Antarctica compared to many other countries, and weather systems from the Southern Ocean can affect the southern tip of Africa. These systems can bring colder air masses that contribute to snow, particularly in mountainous regions.
5. Moisture Availability:
Snow requires not only cold temperatures but also moisture in the atmosphere. When cold fronts from the ocean carry sufficient moisture, and it encounters the cold conditions in the mountains, snow can form even during spring.
Examples of Areas Where Snow Falls in Spring:
Drakensberg Mountains: This is one of the most common regions to experience snow in South Africa, even in spring, due to its high elevation.
Eastern Cape: Areas like Hogsback and parts of the Sneeuberge Mountains often experience snow due to their altitude.
Lesotho (which is geographically surrounded by South Africa) also experiences spring snow because of its high altitude in the Maloti Mountains.
In summary, snow falls in some parts of South Africa during spring due to the combination of high altitudes, occasional cold fronts, and the fluctuating temperatures typical of a transition season. The high-altitude areas and the influence of polar air from the Southern Ocean play key roles in this phenomenon.
SOUTH AFRICANS STOP HARMING OTHER AFRICANS AND BEING RACIST TO THE OTHER SIDE BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THERE IS STILL MORE TO COME IF YOU PERSIST DOING SO THE GODS OF THE BLACKS IS ANGRY YOU CONTINUE MORE RAIN WILL COME TO DAMAGE 💔 YOUR FAMILIES AT HOME 🏡 READ THIS CAREFULLY YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS IS 2024 LEAP YEAR MANY THINGS TEND TO HAPPEN AND BAD SPIRITS ARE BOUND TO BE ACTIVE ALL DAY LONG STOP BEING RACIST AND UNITE HAVE YOU EVER MANIPULATED THE WHITE SYSTEM NO ONE HAS EVER DID SO THEY DONT RACE OR DESCRIMINATE BUT THEY HAVE CHANGED THE BLACK SYSTEM MADE THEM TO BE AGRESSIVE TO OTHERS OF THEIR OWN AFRICANS MUST UNITE PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO OVERCOME THINGS

Soon we gonna need passports to vice Iceland of south Africa
Africa watch out and pray. This is being controlled. One day will wake up snowy in Africa and hot in Europe. I once said that during corona time that weather will be exchanged if we dont pray
So much for global warming 😂
Snow in spring? Do we have snow making machines now. Just warning that the hurricane machines and tsunamis are on its way.
Best to close the roads

I work hard that's why I can afford a range rover so when I drive the colour of the road just occasionally changes to white that's the only difference in my driving experience
Repent people Jesus is coming soon

Ya'll need alot of salt for those roads, salt melts ice
Please do close the roads 😢
'KZN disaster teams on high alert' AFTER THE EVENT. This is so Africa.
It's weird you know yall are getting snow while we are getting dust not even rain we need some of that atleast
Yes, they threw doloses in the sea. So, no sympathy here!
Disaster teams, please, try surviving – 22 Celsius 😅

I still find our experts in the SA Weather Services incompetent, I remember checking the weather last week on Thursday it was a report of temperatures dropping like crazy over the whole weekend but no real warning about the snow.
Yhooo KZN Be safe out there everyone on the roads
Watse lente is dit die sneeu aan mekaar 😮
Does it always snows during winter in KZN? or this is the first time?
Because I thought KZN is warm even during winter.
If 1 is able to go consult at a traditional healer about giving their enemy a stroke, I think they should also be able to tell the traditional healer to stop the horrible weather 😂
They'll ignore the warnings, then blame government again.
Yooooh!!!🙈🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️ this weather
This is a man-made weather condition, we are watching you GNU
Take care please people. 🙏
Roads will be more dangerous
NO wAYS
