Gauteng Set for a Sunny, Mild Weekend After Midweek Chill

After a chilly start to the week, Gauteng residents can finally look forward to milder weather and sunshine this weekend. The South African Weather Service has forecast a pleasant shift in conditions, with no rain in sight for either Johannesburg or Pretoria.
Cool Start, Clear Skies on Saturday
Saturday, 24 May 2025, will bring a noticeable change in pace after the recent cold snap. Johannesburg will kick off the morning with a brisk 8°C, but by midday, temperatures are expected to climb to a comfortable 18°C. The afternoon will be ideal for those craving some sunshine, with clear skies and gentle winds expected from the southwest. Humidity will hover between 40% and 55%, and temperatures will gradually cool to around 14°C in the evening.
Pretoria will experience a similarly calm and sunny day. Morning lows will start at around 9°C, warming up to a pleasant 20°C in the afternoon. Light winds and no rain make it a great day for family outings, park strolls, or just enjoying the sunshine from your garden.
Sunday Brings More Warmth
The warming trend will continue into Sunday, 25 May 2025. Johannesburg residents can expect a slightly warmer morning, with temperatures starting at 9°C and reaching a high of 19°C by the afternoon. While a few clouds may roll in later in the day, no rain is forecast, and the winds will remain light.
Pretoria will be the warmest spot in the province, with a high of 21°C expected. The weather will stay mild and mostly sunny, offering another great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors before the start of the new week.
A Welcome Break from the Cold
This weekend’s improved weather will be a welcome reprieve for many after the cold snap earlier in the week. According to Gauteng Weather’s earlier warnings, residents were bracing for sharp temperature drops by midweek. But now, it looks like Mother Nature is offering a gentler touch just in time for the weekend.
Whether you’re planning a braai, a morning jog, or a lazy afternoon in the sun, this weekend is shaping up to be just what Gauteng needs — clear, calm, and comfortably cool.
