Sun comes out but Durban braces for more rains | Daily News

Durban - The sun may have come out in Durban on Friday morning but the SA Weather Service warned people to take precaution as heavy rainfall was expected which could lead to flooding in parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

The warning came as school across the province suspended classes on Friday following a directive from the KZN Education Department who advised principals not to open schools if they did not have to. According to a circular sent by the department, only grade 12's writing matric exams and Grade 11's writing common papers must attend.

Weather forecaster Thandiwe Gumede said there was an 80% chance of showers and thundershowers on the coast and adjacent interior, which could lead to flooding. Gumede said there were thunderstorms along the coast on Thursday afternoon, which had not lasted long because of the rotation of the wind around the weather system. The storms were expected to return later in the evening.
