Cold front, wet conditions to hit W Cape from Thursday

The South African Weather Service has warned of cold and wet conditions, with temperatures dropping below 10 degrees celsius, in some parts of the Western Cape on Thursday and Friday.

The service says the cold front will also bring light snowfalls over the mountains in the Boland.

Fresh to strong south-easterly winds can be expected for both days resulting in a significant wind chill factor.
