Weather update: another cold front arrives tonight

Update: My good friend and business and tennis partner Duncan McLeod keeps me informed re the weather. He is a simply brilliant amateur meteorologist who understands every bit of the weather systems. He also has a terrific sense of humour. Like Simon Gear, he sometimes gets it wrong, but when I communicate news, it comes from him, by and large.

Update: My Weather Bureau contacts advise it could drop to -3 tonight. Feels like it already.

The mercury will drop to around zero tonight, and stay down for much of the rest of the week.

The wind that is pumping is a pre-frontal system.

Dress warmly. Brrr!

On Thursday it would become even colder and minimum temperatures in parts of Johannesburg could fall to zero.  

The cold weather was expected to clear up only on Saturday.

I love it when you post these, cause usually its the opposite!! haha..
Not your fault, of course, who knows of a weather prediction site that is accurate... the best one I have found so far is golfweather.com ... it is pretty good.
But, alas, this time I think you are right... brrrr!!! I stuck my foot out the door just earlier, and quickly pulled it back and ran to my oil-heater to defrost it!! haha...
Keep warm!
