IT IS going to be another rough day at sea for vessels between Plettenberg Bay and Richards Bay on Monday.

The South African Weather Service (Saws) has issued a warning of damaging waves.

The forecaster issued a Yellow Level 1 warning for damaging winds which will make navigation at sea difficulty.

Saws has also warned of extremely high fire danger conditions over the Northern Cape's Kgatelopele local municipality, as well as the Greater Taung, Mamusa local municipalities in the North West.

Rainfall has also been forecast for the Limpopo and Mpumalanga escarpment.
