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

[Brian_G]

Monday looked twice as bad as yesterday rain volume wise though, but haven't looked again, and as we've seen it's super-varied geographically.

 

[Rickster]

Pool is brown as heck, must be from all the dust in the air after the rain and wind.

 

[Brian_G]

Latest expects the next lot of rain (centrally speaking) from about 3 am. That continues with varying intensity until at least end of daylight Monday, so here we go.....
or not

Thunderstorms themselves predicted until about 9 pm tomorrow.

Wind will die down from about suppertime tonight and stay that way.

I haven't dared to open it in last 20 days.

Yeah same

It doesn't look particularly so but the 20kph winds are steady here and gusting to I'm guessing 35

Strangest thing is its blowing down to ground level, the carports around my building look like they want to take off, and the sinkdak ones are banging like a landlord who hasn't been paid

Since I've been here its never been this way, always blows to the north an misses us due to the hill, today its oposite.

Got all of 2mm yesterday so hoping for a few more tomorrow

 

[Steamy Tom]

It's been mostly calm here, just a few minutes of storm before dawn.

 

[Lupus]

It's like you just jinxed it, but positively - now only fluffy clouds here, about 60% blue, good sunshine!

But there's more than a day to go, so....

As a point of interest, most electricity generating wind turbines only start up at 5mps (18kph).

Ja no it was blowing a kak shot, its how fast it was at street level that amazed me, the result this morning is the main road beheind my complex has been blown squeezq clean, not a paper in sight, seems its mostly ended up in the small side streets between our buildings though, they have a tendency to cause swirling air in there

We've only had maybe two drops of rain and now the power's off for the first time in many months. Think the last time we've had a power outage was in Jan/Feb.

For me today the only water I have is the kind falling out of the sky. Power was last week. Can't have all the nice things at once!

 

[Lupus]

Well we had some sun and now thick black clouds with rumbles sigh.
