What SA weather warning levels really mean
The Star
|June 20, 2025
HAVE you ever received a weather warning from the South African Weather Service (SAWS) and wondered what it really means?
While the warnings use colours and numbers, you might be asking yourself: is it just a little rain, or something serious enough to cancel school, flood your home, or even threaten your life?
We look into the meanings behind these weather warnings, how they can impact you, and how the Impact-Based Severe Weather Warning System transforms the way SAWS communicates weather risks.
How it works
The warnings follow a colour-coded system designed to show the severity of expected weather impacts.
