There is a high chance of widespread, light snowfall across South Africa and Lesotho starting Tuesday, but heavier snowfall of up to 20cm is possible in places, according to Snow Report SA.
The conditions will first be felt in the Western and Northern Cape today and will spread to the central parts of the country by tomorrow, with temperatures expected to decrease significantly.
SA Weather Service spokesperson, Hannelee Doubell, said two cold fronts were expected to result in a significant drop in temperatures, with windy and wet conditions as well as snow in the western and southern parts of the country.
The forecast said a cold front was expected to make landfall in the Western Cape early this morning, with widespread snow expected over almost all the mountain peaks in the south-western Cape by lunchtime today.
The snow is expected to spread eastwards into the Eastern Cape this evening, reaching the Sneeuberg and the southern Drakensberg.
