Snow in South Africa! Heavy falls expected from tonight for 3 days.

We are expecting similar falls to those that we had in May this year across the Drakensberg Mountains.

Snow at Sani Mountain Lodge at the top of Sani Pass on the 14th May this year.

Looking at the charts today, the expected snow is still on track SnowReporters and we’re really looking forward to it!
We are expecting our first snowfalls in the Western Cape late this evening, and by Wednesday morning, light snow should have fallen across all the high peaks in the Western Cape. By lunch time on Wednesday light falls will possibly fall in the Sutherland area of the Northern Cape, as well as extending into the Eastern Cape, and by Wednesday evening should extend from the WC right through to the Eastern Cape Drakensberg.
During Wednesday night, snowfalls will intensify in the EC, and move into Lesotho, south western parts of KZN and into the KZN Drakensberg. By Thursday morning, substantial falls are possible in the KZN Drakensberg, the EC Drakensberg, the Amatole region in the EC and in Lesotho, ith some snowfalls expected to come down into the foothills of the Drakensberg and snow also quite likely for the KZN Midlands.
During Thursday and into Thursday evening, snowfalls will continue in Lesotho, south western KZN, the EC Drakensberg and the KZN Drakensberg with some light flurries in the central regions of the EC. Some heavy falls are possible in Lesotho, the KZN Drakensberg and the EC Drakensberg during this time.
There is a slight possibility that some light snow could also fall in the FS during Thursday somewhere between Clarens and Harrismith but this is subject to change as the system progresses. There might still be some light flurries around on Friday morning over high ground in the EC Drakensberg, central EC and south western KZN, but by Friday afternoon, all snowfalls should stop.
We will keep watching, and update everyone as things progress. Stay safe and keep warm SnowReporters!

The forecast for the remainder of this week.
