The 'Massive' Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread! The Sequel

[DarkStarMonday]

Been raining since about 17H00 yesterday in Boksburg. On and off.

It’s bucketting down now…

Maybe it's a psychological thing where we think it's colder than it is because of what the temperature is. But to me it doesn't feel as cold as it should for 4 degrees, I've felt colder. Maybe the lack of wind chill...

Not the coldest night according to my outdoor temp sensor. that was sometime in July where it was -1c.

But coldest day for sure. 3c currently.

I hope the rain stays for tonight then it’ll definitely be cold enough to snow in Joburg but forecasts show it’s gone by early evening.

It takes time for the cold to seep into some homes. I'm on the ground floor so even with the windows slightly open and no heater/aircon it's still fairly ok. I only feel the real chill if stepping outside.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Looked out of the window, saw some sleet for about 5 seconds then it suddenly stopped. There's hope yet...

Same in the south. Now where the fck is our promised snow...

I blame the ANC, probably stole it

 

[Flanders]

In Harrismith now. Proper cold with sleet and snow starting. Mountain tops here are covered. Hoping trip into JHB will be drama-free.

August always has another cold spell or two.

Politio-scientism driven fear of climate disaster at play here. Unpolarised science says it's just changes, sometimes they're more severe for a few years.


Norwood / Houghton strip got a bit of light rain last night and this morning, mostly only been cold. Sun has just come out.

Weird hey. I felt my fingers frozen and bedding cold when I was in limpopo two weeks ago. This 5 which apparently feels like 1 feels warmer than then where it was around 10.

But cloudy days do tend not to feel that cold.

But it is really cold today. I just opened up bathroom window tiny bit to peek out and man, wind is blowing and quite chilly. Thankfully, house is well insulated so heater not needed during day yet.

cold as hell all of a sudden. This winter was very mild up until now

Yeah, last few hours got really cold. But my fingers & toes aren't (wearing slip slops).

But cloudy days do tend not to feel that cold.

Have always thought the opposite but I guess there must be something in that then.

How are you managing on the roads?

Back in the 011 now. All good, wasn't too crazy.

 

[Kung Fu Porkchop]

It's been coming down here for about 4 hours now, and it's cold as balls.

Pennsylvania is supposed to be cold, your balls not.

 

[Segg]

Probably the coldest day we've had the entire winter.

It was 3 at OR Tambo this morning at 10:30

 

[animal531]

I've been sweating the last few nights and almost removed my duvet, good thing I waited a day.

OR Tambos temperatures today
