When rain?

It's raining in Cape Town. Please wait your turn...

Rain over the interior is usually correlated with South Easterly winds in CT. We haven't had any so far this month, which is rather unusual.

When rain?

Monday afternoon and a bit into the evening?

El Nino doesn't affect the Western Cape much, and my memory is not so good, so I had to google:

The 2015–2016 El Niño was one of the strongest "super El Niño" climate events ever recorded, rivalling the historic 1997–98 event.

Southern Africa: Triggered an extreme historical drought, causing severe crop failures, livestock losses, and major declines in surface water and groundwater storage in basins like the Limpopo.
