Its not clear to all those who have forgotten their education from high school geography. Please decode it for us.

I took geography up to matric ('96) and this is still Greek to me.

Here you go

So here near Monk's Cowl in Drakensberg the weather has been great over the weekend. At around midnight the rain hit and has been persistent since with freezing, driving rain. Let's see what happens next.

I miss those sigwx charts, but they have long become subscription only. The aviation servers were very busy (I was just looking at Metars and TAFs), with many users downloading such charts! Flight planning during this event would be extremely challenging...

There are multiple ways of visualising such complex 3D weather systems, but one of the more visual ones is the CPC GFS charts for Southern Africa. Various levels and parameters are available (unfortunately each is separate), with the 500hPa temperature being the most interesting.

The cold core upper trough is shown pushing far inland over SA, and will soon 'split' into a cutoff low, persisting over several days:

Where did this happen?

PTA North side it's still bone dry. I did see the road is wet from Centurion side to Midrand.

 

[Heisenborg]

Dry as a bone in Roodepoort

 

[Grubscrew]

Now the rains are raining in Centurains

 

[Cius]

We have had a few drops on and off in Randburg but no serious rain. Cold though and rather windy last night.
