Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The weekend brought near gale-force winds to the Western Cape, with the inclement weather expected to continue on Monday.<\/p>\n

Wet, windy and cold conditions are expected over the western parts of the Western and Northern Cape due to a cold front.<\/p>\n

City of Cape Town Disaster Risk Management spokesperson Charlotte Powell said the situation was being carefully monitored.<\/p>\n

She said:<\/p>\n

Colin Deiner, head of the Western Cape’s disaster management service, said no major incidents had been reported over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) issued a yellow level 3 warning for damaging winds and waves, which are expected to continue until Monday night.<\/p>\n

The severe weather is likely to cause difficulty in navigation at sea between Alexander Bay and Plettenberg Bay.<\/p>\n

SAWS forecaster Surprise Mhlongo said winds reached speeds of between 40km\/h and 60km\/h, with a gust impact of 80km\/h.<\/p>\n

Monday’s winds are expected to reach similar speeds, with 40km\/h recorded in the morning. This is likely to increase in Cape Town’s city centre.<\/p>\n

The weather service also urged Western Cape residents to be careful while travelling on the N1, as the strong winds could cause problems for high-sided vehicles.<\/p>\n
