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

[Speedster]

The wind has been ridiculous for the last few hours. There are going to be some trees, poles and solar panels (hopefully not mine) on the ground in the morning.

[ArmatageShanks]

Lovely intermittent showers the whole evening

But I think the dop is getting heavy now, God is showing off his Subs rattling the kak out of my ceiling with this lightning. Its never this low and loud, usually just the norm sharp fast flashes.

Wind is considerably more sane this morning.

Nope it's not, quite mild for the area

Weird isolated pockets of activity, chalk and cheese just 20 odd km apart. More of the new normal.

I see the ground in here PTA East has imprints on top of the light dusting of rain, but nothing of consequence.

Yes, the wind was insane yesterday. Us living in Gauteng are not used to it. I battled to keep my small car in the lane on the highway yesterday.

Drove from PTA to JHB during the rain yesterday. The most notable part of the trip was Beyers Naude. The rain was washing that milky emulsion along the road, a slippery concoction of all the winter deposits being flushed. Struggled to pull off on uphill sections due to the wheel spin.

Pool has also gone greeny brown

And today? Charts show almost negligible activity in Gauteng during the early afternoon. Was all that talk about weather at the rugby a hoax?

Conditions will change in the late afternoon, but nothing like yesterday. Fog is also forecast...

Edit: Sunday looks wet again, but more drizzle than thunder.

Think they call it a "Forecast" otherwise known an estimated guess or a calculated prediction, note this differs from the "predictions" made by those of spiritual or religious orientation, in that its based on some form of scientific model built ober time from recorded meteorologicalal conditions, but now keep in mind

Ah nope, pinched the last turd so ok bey.

Yikes. The funny thing is it's probably less so than normal for the time of year given how much water constantly flows across much of what remains of our roads due to leaks.
