By

The South African Weather Service has issued a Level 6 warning for the period from 13h00 on 3 June 2024 to 22h00 on 4 June 2024.

An Orange Level 6 Warning for Disruptive Rain resulting in flooding of settlements,
roads and bridges, some communities temporarily cut off as well as danger to life
is expected in places over the coast of the Eastern Cape and the adjacent interior.

A cut-off low, deep surface trough and a ridging high pressure system are resulting in showers and thundershowers over the province. Due to the rainfall accumulations being in excess of 100mm in places along the coast between Cape St Francis and Port Edward, significant impacts can be expected. Additionally, the rainfall is expected top persist for the rest of today and tomorrow, resulting in these significant impacts being prolonged.

Disruptive rain leading to flooding of settlements/property, roads, danger to life with some communities temporarily cut-off is expected in places over Kouga, Ndlambe, Ngqushwa, Great Kei, Mnquma, Mbashe, King Sabata Dalindyebo, Nyandeni, Port St Johns, Ingquza Hill and Mbizana LM’s as well as Nelson Mandela Bay and Buffalo City Metro’s.
