LEVEL 6 WARNING – South Africa HIT by Record-Breaking Durban Hail & Mega-Floods (Latest Updates)

A severe hailstorm battered the city of Durban, South Africa, bringing coin-sized hailstones and flash flooding that submerged key highway lanes. The weather event caused immediate traffic disruptions and localized power outages, with municipal emergency teams placed on high alert as heavy rainfall continues across the region.

Officials attribute the severe weather to a cut-off low-pressure system, a pocket of cold air aloft that remains static over the region and triggers intense thunderstorm activity. Authorities have elevated the risk to an orange level six warning for disruptive rain, with rising river levels posing an ongoing inundation hazard to low-lying communities.

In this video, we examine the initial hailstorm in Durban, the meteorological causes behind the system, the impact on major transport routes, and the active disaster management operations across KwaZulu-Natal.
