Gauteng weather: Expect burning, sneezing, and trouble breathing this week…

The Gauteng weather forecast may come across as rather pleasant this week – temperatures are set to hit 30C in Pretoria today, as more Spring sunshine comes to bless the province. However, the calm conditions will flatter to deceive, and local officials are warning of a ‘triple threat’ in the days ahead.

Gauteng weather could be ‘problematic for some’ this week

That’s because the Gauteng Weather page – one of the best-known regional forecasters in the country – has detected a few issues that need flagging, and those of you with fair skin, hay fever, or respiratory challenges should take note.

Already, the pollen index has soared to concerning highs, and the risk for hay fever sufferers has increased on Wednesday. It’s expected that these levels will persist for the rest of the week. Best get the anti-histamines ready…

Latest Gauteng weather forecast – sunburn, air pollution warnings in place

Secondly, the risk of sunburn has gone up by a considerable measure. Gauteng Weather says the chances of being burnt from Wednesday onwards is now ‘very high’, and although temperatures won’t be insufferable, conditions are ripe for possible skin damage. We can put that down to blazing sunshine, clear skies, and strong winds.

If you’re heading out in the province any time soon, adding a layer of sunblock won’t do you any harm.

A difficult week ahead, despite the arrival of Spring conditions

Finally, the age-old problem of ‘air pollution’ has also been identified once again for residents of Gauteng, with the weather forecasters publishing a warning for ‘sensitive groups’. On Friday and Saturday, the cumulative levels will peak, affecting anyone who has issues with their breathing.

Authorities have warned those affected to take all precautions necessary.
