Cape Town - Capetonians can expect the weather to clear for most of the long weekend, but some light rain is predicted for Sunday.
However, snow is predicted for some high-lying areas in the Western Cape.
WeatherSA has not predicted any rain for Friday or Saturday but light showers return on Sunday and will persist into early next week.
Temperatures are predicted to peak around the mid-teens for most of the weekend, making for a probability of snow in high-lying towns such as Ceres and on the hills around Franschhoek.
CityLifer blog has advised weekend revellers to get out of the city and to enjoy the likely snowfall as the winter nears its end.
l Residents in the wetlands end of Masiphumelele were yesterday battling flooding after this week’s heavy rains.
Councillor Mzuvukile Nikelo said the area was awash with overflowing drainwater and rain.
“The land there is not meant to be occupied by people because it’s a wetland, and when it rains the situation becomes worse to a point that people can’t leave their shacks.”
Siyabonga Zazine, who has lived in the wetlands for eight years and whose shack leaked, said: “This rain is bringing us problems because it floods our homes.”
He was considering moving back to Eastern Cape because his living conditions were unhealthy, especially in winter.
Another resident, Nosipho Siminini, worried when rain was forecast. Furniture was damaged by the dampness and children got sick.
