Weather update: First snow of the season possible this weekend

Brace yourselves, as the weather services have hinted at a significant event- a steep temperature drop that could bring the first proper SNOW of the season! 

A steep temperature drop could drop low enough for the first proper SNOW of the season. 

According to VoxWeather, a strong cut-off low will develop this weekend, bringing another steep drop in temperatures and scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms. 

“Freezing levels will also drop low enough for the first proper SNOW of the season to fall from Friday.” 

VoxWeather says.

THE SNOW FORECAST IS STILL EARLY AND COULD CHANGE 

It furthermore said the snow forecast is still a few days away and will most likely change. 

“We are keeping an eye on this cut-off low and will give an in-depth forecast closer to the time.” 

HERE ARE THE TOP FIVE PLACES IN SA TO GO HUNT FOR SNOW:

• Underberg: Snowfalls in the Underberg can occur anywhere from May through to October. The highest recorded snowfall in the area and, therefore, possibly the best time to go in search of snow, is in August. Situated a mere 40kms from Underberg, Sani Pass is a great snow spot to explore, with the first winter snowfall having fallen there in late May this year. Be advised though that you need a 4 x 4 to drive up the pass.
• Golden Gate: The winter months in Golden Gate are very cold and temperatures can plummet to between -9 and -15°C. Snow is no stranger to this area.
• Midlands: Winter in the Natal Midlands is cool and dry, with occasional snow and frost and average temperatures of 6°C. August 2021 saw the KZN Midlands transformed into a white-blanketed wonderland along with other large parts of SA previously untouched by it.
