Where did it snow in Gauteng?

Snow was also observed over areas in Johannesburg south, such as Soweto, Alberton, and Roodepoort.

Snow also fell in the eastern areas of Gauteng such as Heidelberg and parts of Ekurhuleni, including Vosloorus. 

Light snowfall and sleet are still possible over the Highveld and the escarpment of Mpumalanga on Monday, where expected temperatures for areas such as Dullstroom, Belfast, Roossenekal, Mariepskop, Mount Anderson, and Ermelo will not exceed 6°C. Research has shown that the Dullstroom areas get occasional snow towards the late winter.

The public and small stock farmers are advised that the very cold, wet, and windy conditions may pose a risk to livestock, vulnerable crops, and plants, it said. “Severe frost is expected overnight as well as on Wednesday morning. The public is also warned to keep warm during these cold conditions.”

The weather service said it expects Gauteng snow about every 10 years.
