26 Jul 2016 / Durban, South Africa
The Port of Durban was closed yesterday afternoon (Monday 25 July) due to high swell and strong winds after heavy rains and snow fell over much of KwaZulu-Natal.
Reported swells of between 3.5 and 5.1 metres across the entrance channel prompted the port authorities to stop all ship movements in and out the port at around 1300 hours local time. Previously, restrictions had been introduced with selective ship movements being introduced during the morning.
Meanwhile, heavy rain across the province and snowfall in the Midlands and high lying areas have curtailed some road traffic on the busy N3 highway between Durban and Gauteng, with calls by road traffic authorities for journeys to be postponed if possible until the weather improves. A number of routes in the high lying areas have been closed to traffic. In Durban and surrounding areas flooding closed a number of streets, causing long delays and diversions.
Light rain was still falling this morning (Tuesday 26 July).
