Cape Town disaster risk management spokesperson Charlotte Powell disclosed alerts were also issued for damaging coastal winds and rough seas.
“These conditions could lead to localized flooding, considering the level of the ground saturation from previous rainfall in the last few days,” Charlotte Powell said.
Authorities urged the public not to travel unless it was necessary. Last week, thousands of people were affected across the province by a series of cold fronts that threatened the region.
