KwaZulu-Natal residents woke up to one of those picture-perfect mornings—sunlight pouring in, skies clear, and just the right kind of warmth to make you want to head outside.
From the coastal stretches to the inland towns, Wednesday has kicked off on a high note, especially if you’re a fan of mild, sunny weather.
Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay Bask in Sunshine
In Pietermaritzburg, the day began with the kind of golden light that makes everything look like it’s been touched up for a postcard.
Temperatures are heading toward a pleasant 24°C, perfect for a midweek stroll or lunch outdoors.
Over in Richards Bay, it’s even toastier, expected to peak around 26°C. Beach day, anyone?
Inland Areas Start Cold but Warm Up Fast
Not everyone had the luxury of a warm start, though.
Places like Mooi River had a much chillier wake-up call, with freezing temperatures reported earlier in the morning.
Still, the cold isn’t here to stay.
As the sun gets higher, warmth will gradually spread across even the cooler parts of the province.
Breezy Winds Head to the Coast
The winds that swept through the interior overnight have now drifted toward the coastline.
While there’s a noticeable breeze in spots like Richards Bay, it’s nothing too intense—just enough to keep the air fresh without spoiling the mood.
A Warm, Calm Day Ahead Says Weather Expert
According to SABC meteorologist Mpho Rasimphi, this is a day to enjoy.
“It will be warm over most of KwaZulu-Natal today, especially over Richards Bay.
We’re expecting a beautiful sunrise,” he shared during the morning forecast.
Ideal Weather for Outdoor Plans
With barely any weather disruptions expected, today is shaping up to be one of those rare days where you can leave the umbrella at home, skip the jacket, and just enjoy the moment.
Whether you’re heading to the office, the park, or the beach—go for it.
