NWU Weather Stations — Live Conditions

Observed data from NWU-operated weather stations (not model output). Refreshed hourly. Generated 2026-08-24 00:07 SAST.

Observational data direct from station telemetry -- not quality-controlled/ homogenized. "Potchefstroom" below is the average of the Pienaarskamp and Potch South stations (both in/around Potchefstroom); Lekwena and Metsi are single stations shown under their own site names. Wind is vector-averaged (not a naive average of compass degrees). See the WRF forecast for model-based predictions.
