South Africa is experiencing its second heat wave of the summer season, with temperatures exceeding 36 degrees Celsius in Gauteng Province. The South African Weather Service says the hot conditions are expected to persist, prompting emergency services to urge residents to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged sun exposure and limit strenuous outdoor activities.

Authorities warn that the extreme heat could increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, particularly among young children, older people and outdoor workers. Cooler conditions and possible rainfall are expected over the weekend.
