Weatherman Simon Dirkse said the cold front, which will be accompanied by rain in the south-western parts, will reach the South at around lunchtime.

"We expect very cold conditions in the South by Wednesday [tomorrow] and daytime temperatures will be less than 12 degrees Celsius," said Dirkse.

The cold will reach central Namibia by Thursday.

At the end of last week, a cold front that set in on Thursday evening brought sub-zero temperatures to southern and central Namibia.

Frost was reported around Windhoek and a reader in Eros reported that the taps inside her house were frozen on Friday and Saturday morning.
