Weather Overview — 1 September 2025
Most of South Africa enjoyed warm, sunny spring weather, ideal for outdoor activities. The Eastern Cape and KwaZulu‑Natal experienced cooler, cloudier, and wetter conditions due to onshore flow.
Extremely high fire‑danger warnings were in effect for parts of the Northern Cape, North West, Free State, Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
Avoid damaged coastal roads such as Strand Beach Road; expect delays near park attractions and at gates affected by local strikes; reduce speed in mist and rain; carry water and emergency supplies when travelling through high‑fire‑risk areas.
