The South African Weather Service (Saws) has issued a yellow level 2 warning for damaging coastal winds between Table Bay and Cape Agulhas from Monday evening into Tuesday.
The strong winds are likely to create difficult navigation conditions at sea, while parts of the Western Cape could also experience rain, showers and possible thundershowers.
Elsewhere in the country, cool to warm conditions are expected, with isolated showers forecast for several provinces, including Gauteng, Limpopo, the Free State and North West.
Monday’s weather forecast
