GEORGE NEWS - While the rest of the country is experiencing an early summer with temperatures souring to the mid-30s, the Western Cape is still firmly caught in the grip of winter, with precious little of the accompanying winter rainfall in sight.
According to the South African Weather Service (SAWS) maximum temperatures in most cities and towns in the Western Cape will stay well under 20°C.
The maximum temperature predicted for George today, Wednesday and Thursday is a mere 17°C, while the mercury is set to dip to 14°C on Saturday. On Sunday we can expect a high of 18°C.
Light rain is predicted for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, unfortunately totalling no more than 10mm.
The low temperatures are predicted to last until at least Thursday next week with a light to moderate breeze predicted for this period.
Apart from predicting slightly lower temperatures, the SAWS prediction is confirmed by www.yr.no, a highly rated weather site run by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian Broadcasting Cooperation.
