A Christmas with sunny skies on cards

CLEAR weather is expected for the Mother city next week, according to the SA Weather Service.

This after yesterday’s cooler conditions with heavy downpours in the morning, and a moderate north-westerly wind.

The weather service has warned of extremely dangerous conditions over the central and eastern parts of the Northern Cape and the western parts of North West, Free State and Central Karoo.

Hot and humid weather would result in uncomfortable conditions along the coast between the Storms and Kei Mouth in the Eastern Cape, as well as the interior, south of the Winterberg, the lowveld in Mpumalanga and the eastern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

In the Eastern Cape, St Francis Bay residents were told to evacuate their homes due to a runaway fire.
