The South African Weather Services says yesterday evening's storm - that ranged from mild to severe in different parts of KZN - lasted about three hours in Durban.
Forecaster Thandiwe Gumede says the storm lost its intensity heading towards the coast and the North Western parts of the province.
Gumede says more rain is expected in Durban for the next few days.
"Rain has fallen across the province as well as the interior. The amount of precipitation that has fallen already has seen Ladysmith at 32ml, Vryheid - 19, and Pietermaritzburg at 20ml of rain. Mooi River recorded 36ml, Estcourt - 11, Cedara - 25ml, Oribi Airport at 17 while Underberg has had 18ml.
"We are expecting those conditions to persist for the rest of the day," she said.
