SA Weather forecaster Thabo Ragoro said isolated thundershowers and showers were forecast for parts of the interior today, but it would be a dry weekend, with showers expected next week.

"From Sunday, we are expecting isolated thundershowers and showers going into Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday," he said.

Ragoro said there were, however, no severe thunderstorm warnings yet.
