A forecaster told TimesLIVE that the weather service would issue a yellow warning on Monday for residents along the Garden Route, where downpours could lead to flooding.
Isolated showers were also expected over the Western Cape on Monday and Tuesday.
A high-pressure system, which is after Monday’s cold front, is expected to make landfall on Wednesday and bring rain and snow.
By Wednesday, temperatures will drop significantly over the west and southwest of the country and by that afternoon the cold will move into the interior of the country when snowfall is also expected to reach the Drakensburg.
The forecaster said Thursday was expected to be very cold over most of the country, except for the Limpopo highveld. Temperatures are only expected to pick up again on Saturday.
