Sixty-seven vehicles have been in accidents in Gauteng during the past two rainy days - and Joburgers must brace themselves for showers, according to a weather report update by Kenosi Machepa, spokeswoman of the SA Weather Service.

“This is an introduction to our summer weather; those are the types of thunderstorms we will be getting in summer,” said SA Weather Service senior forecaster Vanetia Thakule.
