Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town \u2013 Capetonians have been cautioned to prepare for a cold front making landfall on Tuesday night, bring strong winds and heavy rain.<\/p>\n

The SA Weather Service (SAWS) has advised a cold front would arrive tonight, bringing rainfall, but also strong north-westerly winds along the coast, reaching speeds of between 45 and 60 km\/h.<\/p>\n

The cold front will persist into Wednesday but is expected to be cleared by early Thursday morning. It will also extend along the south coast from tomorrow afternoon into Thursday.<\/p>\n

Rough and choppy sea conditions are also predicted.<\/p>\n

The SAWS issued a warning for coastal west and north-west wind with impacts including disruption to small harbours and ports over a short period time expected between Table Bay and Cape Agulhas.<\/p>\n

This will also include difficulty in navigating small vessels between Cape Columbine and Stilbaai until Wednesday.<\/p>\n

There was also a warning for interior north-west wind which may lead to localised problems for high-sided vehicles on the N1, N7, R321 and R43.<\/p>\n

Localised damage to formal and informal settlements are expected tomorrow over the Cape Metropole, but also over the Western Cape interior on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

There was also a warning for rain which is expected to lead to flooding of roads and settlements over the Cape Metropole, south-western parts of the Cape Winelands and western Overberg from the evening to Wednesday.<\/p>\n

SAWS said general rainfall amounts of 20-40mm can be expected, while high lying areas can expect 50mm of rainfall.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for the City of Cape Town\u2019s Disaster Risk Management, Chantel Alexander, said the City was making a plan to handle any weather-related issues should it arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll City services and external agencies are on standby to deal with any potential impacts from the predicted adverse weather conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents are urged to please exercise caution and to contact the City\u2019s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700 (from a cellphone) or 107 from a landline, in the event of an emergency,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n
