## Resource

Friday in Johannesburg turned chaotic as fierce winds tore off a roof in Linden, displacing eight families—though no injuries occurred and cleanup was underway by Saturday. Amid a storm warning for Gauteng, officials urged caution, especially for travelers, as the South African Weather Service issued severe alerts: Orange Level 5 warnings for dangerous thunderstorms and damaging winds in the Northern Cape, plus Yellow Level 4 alerts across Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. Compounding the risk, a potentially record-breaking El Niño looms in the Pacific, likely bringing hotter, drier conditions to Southern Africa—even though past El Niños have occasionally brought more rain.
