Cape Town dam levels have reached 65% following a weather combination of heavy rains and icy temperatures.
Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that roadways were flooded across the City in areas such as Southfield, Grassy Park, Killarney, Kraaifontein, Atlantis, Mamre, Hout Bay, Kuils River, Mitchells Plain, Macassar, Parow and Durbanville.
In a tweet, the SA Weather Service warned of thundershowers across Western Cape.
Late PM sat image (23 July 2019). Cold front over the western parts of SA. Snow on the high lying areas will become disruptive tonight (southern Northern Cape and western high ground of Western Cape). Scattered showers and thundershowers over WC. Have a good night, stay safe. pic.twitter.com/G3phbss3JH

About 10-20cm of snow is expected to fall over areas of the Northern and Western Capes between on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Capetonians have taken to Twitter to express their dismay with the weather of the past two days.
So we had sunshine, rain, HAIL, and wind today. Cape Town weather needs to pick a side bro?
