Vox weather meteorologist Michelle du Plessis said they don't expect another heatwave for at least two weeks.

Du Plessis said the weather went from extremely hot to extremely wet with severe thunderstorms forecast for today.

"The cut-off layer on Tuesday will also drop freezing levels low enough for snow over the highlands in the Cape provinces, with the most snow expected on Tuesday over the northern highlands in the Eastern Cape," she said.
