Planning Around Umlazi Weather
- On summer afternoons, plan for sudden thundershowers and allow extra travel time, as taxi ranks and roads get busy when it rains.
- Heavy rain can cause localised flooding in low-lying streets. Follow warnings from the South African Weather Service (SAWS) and eThekwini Municipality.
- Humidity makes hot days feel warmer than the temperature shows, so carry water if you will be outdoors.
For official severe weather warnings, check the South African Weather Service. In an emergency call 112 from a cellphone.
