Wits University says we'll see fewer cold days. Yet, they'll surprise us when they do happen.

Every South African realised how important it was to stay warm. So here is Cape Air's Guide to staying warm this coming winter.

Staying Warm in Winter: The Basics

Looking at the basics of staying warm:

3. Be Active: Move around more to stay warm, even indoors.

4. Stay Informed: Keep up with load-shedding schedules and weather updates to plan for warm meals and safe indoor activities.
