South Africa weather forecast: Overview of weather on Tuesday, 8 July 2025
According to the latest data from the South African Weather Service (SAWS), no severe weather alerts, fire danger warnings, or advisories have been issued.
The weather on Tuesday, 8 July 2025, is characterised by fine to partly cloudy skies across most parts of the country, with cool morning temperatures gradually warming up by midday.
While inland regions such as Bloemfontein and Kimberley may experience sub-zero morning temperatures, coastal regions including Durban and Cape Town are expected to enjoy milder conditions.
Elevated UVB indices, particularly in Durban and Pretoria, call for sun protection during peak hours.
Weather warnings issued for Tuesday, 8 July 2025
- No impact-based warnings: SAWS has not issued any impact-based weather warnings for Tuesday, 8 July 2025. This suggests that no weather-related events are expected to significantly disrupt day-to-day activities or pose threats to life or property.
- No fire danger warnings: Conditions across South Africa are not conducive to the rapid spread of veld or forest fires. This implies low fire risk, contributing to general safety in rural and semi-arid regions.
- No advisories: The absence of advisories indicates a lack of weather systems requiring precautionary public attention, such as cold fronts, heavy rainfall, or wind events.
Major urban centres including Johannesburg (4°C/18°C), Pretoria (4°C/19°C), and Cape Town (8°C/19°C) will experience mild winter days under partly cloudy to clear skies.
Durban (7°C/20°C) and Richards Bay (10°C/22°C) will be warmer, with clear conditions and light winds.
The UVB Sunburn Index is very high in Durban and high in Pretoria, warranting adequate sun protection.
This stability aligns with the seasonal forecast issued by SAWS, which anticipates above-normal temperatures in most regions throughout winter, with variable rainfall patterns.
The continued neutral ENSO phase implies limited climate influence, further supporting the current tranquil weather outlook.
