Cold snap spreads across South Africa as rain moves through Adelaide

South Africa’s weather service warned of cold and dry conditions on 15 June 2026, with daytime temperatures of 10 °C or lower in the southern parts of the Northern Cape, the Witzenberg Municipality and the Central Karoo District of the Western Cape. No weather warnings were issued, but the forecast called for cold mornings, occasional evening showers in the south‑east and generally cool, fine weather elsewhere.

In Adelaide, Australia, forecasters predicted a wet, wintry pattern from 16 June 2026 onward. Rainfall of up to 15 mm was expected on Tuesday with temperatures peaking at 20 °C, followed by cooler, showery days and a high chance of rain through the weekend. By Thursday temperatures were forecast to drop to a maximum of 16 °C, with continued showers and northerly to north‑westerly winds.

Both regions are advised to monitor local conditions, especially travelers in South Africa’s inland river areas and residents in Adelaide facing sustained rain.
