The level 6 warning will apply to areas along the coast from Margate and Port Shepstone to Ballito and KwaDukuza.
Rain is expected from midday in KZN, with the highest volumes expected from the early evening until Friday morning.
Floods have brought tragedy to KZN already this year, including the destruction of homes and the loss of 11 lives earlier in March.
Other areas warned to prepare for heavy rainfall include:
- Umzumbe
- Umuziwabantu
- Umtentweni
- Southport
- Pumula
- Mathulini
- Ifafa
- Scottburgh
- Luthuli
- Umgababa
- Durban
Fast-flowing rivers pose a danger to pedestrians and motorists alike, with anyone encountering a large stream encouraged not to attempt a crossing.
Heavy rains could also disrupt essential services and well as create conditions conducive to mudslides.
