Thick fog blankets Joburg as temperatures plummet to 4°C

This week, Johannesburg woke up to a dramatic winter spectacle as dense fog rolled across the city, turning familiar landscapes into ghostly scenes. The thick blanket of mist has severely reduced visibility throughout the metropolitan area, while bone-chilling temperatures of just 4°C have made early morning commutes treacherous on major highways.Weather experts from the South African Weather Service have revealed that this isn’t just a random cold snap – it’s the lingering aftermath of a powerful double cold front that recently swept through Gauteng province. This weather system has unleashed a one-two punch: not only the signature morning fog that locals know all too well, but also persistent moisture that’s keeping the entire region locked in winter’s icy grip.
