The weather office warns of the potential for flash flooding in some low-lying informal settlements, communities, businesses, and Irish crossings, which may disrupt traffic flow.
Surface flooding is also expected in streets, particularly in urban areas with poor drainage systems, along with reduced visibility during heavy downpours.
