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

[Gordon_R]

Not so much a forecast as a look-back, but interesting anyway:

Lots of rain in Waverley. Love this weather.

I'll remember this night when, in 2 months time, we will be sitting in a 33C-37C 5 day heat wave.

Indeed

Here's how our Mountain View area is looking (SE Houghton / S of Norwood,
a couple of km SE of Rosebank which is central Jo'burg)

5 degrees apparently feels like -1 but sheltered outside felt like about -3 just now.
Highest of 10 will apparently feel like 7.
Rain risk ending in about an hour.

Looks like it's mostly over by 11:00.
Edit: Only 3 degrees higher tomorrow, looking better on Friday but there's still a week before it's decently in the 20's.

Bring it on, I love the heat, time to put the pool in use.

Had to go outside for a bit. While I am sick I have to say it felt like I was going into shock. It is freezing out there.

I am not sick and just went out in garden just for just a minute. Flip - it is windy and freezing. Gonna get some hot samoosas on way back when I go out for school run. Pity kara nichas don't have any real spicy stuff though. They seem to be catering to lowest of the lowest denominator. LOL. .

Extreme heat plus our decaying water infrastructure.

You may well be enjoying water restrictions instead of your pool.

AKA 'reservoir' to the modern Johazardsburger.

Jokes aside, I was having this conversation yesterday. We get irate enough when seeing a burst pipe somewhere literally spewing water down the drain - sometimes for months, or longer, on end. Now imagine when we have the full effects of a super el nino and suffer water restrictions and possibly threats of our own "day zero" etc. and yet the trend continues - which it will.

Watch what happens once Zille is mayor. Not too long to wait now.

Got surprisingly warm yesterday afternoon, just the wind chill factor now I recon... temp. will be 3 to 4 degrees higher today than first predicted.

All over, in effect?

 

[Lawnchairman]

Still a bitterly cold morning in JHB.

 

[S_L_Y_G_U_Y]

[sand_man]

JHB back to reality

JHB back to reality

Yeah, seems so. But wind got quite crazy last night.

 

[Rickster]

Was in PTA yesterday, completely different climate lol, JHB was cold and zero sun.

PTA had sun and was warm.

 

[B-1]

Nice and warm outside in the sun today.

Ive just got back from a nice 2hr bike ride. Not too bad out there.
Although the wind is picking up a bit now and its getting more cloudy.

The rain certainly helped clear up all the crap in the air from the usual winter veld fires and dusty old dirt roads....

Come on spring....
