The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued two weather warnings for parts of the Eastern Cape on Thursday. A Yellow Level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms is valid from 13:00 until 18:59, while a Yellow Level 1 warning for damaging winds is valid from 12:00 until 16:59. The thunderstorms could bring heavy downpours, strong winds, and hail, causing localised damage to homes, property, and infrastructure. Farmers could lose livestock and crops, while dangerous storm conditions may threaten lives. Interior berg winds will strengthen as an Atlantic cold front approaches, potentially damaging homes and infrastructure.
