Can someone get a message to God or whatever, and let them know we aren't into Edging please.

 

[Heisenborg]

Great. We get the ass end with only hectic wind

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

I could see drops falling for about 10min around 6pm. But that was just in the pool I could see them, they evaporated as fast as they fell on the paving.

Had 2 showers on the way in to Bryanston from Pta East.

Going past Centurion
And terrorist turnoff into Bryanston

Not much but was actually nice.

I don't think my pool have ever been used this much in Oct.

Any reason you had a short shower before leaving?

 

[Heisenborg]

Such a dry joke

If its like many of us he probably woke up to one of these.

 

[Lupus]

Such a dry joke

After a short shower I would hope so.

Looks like some promise of rain next week sometime. I feel like a raisin.. humidity in the evenings is sometimes as low as 15%.

The low humidity is both good and bad. Dry heat doesn't feel as sticky, but minimal chance of rain...

Most of the charts only show temperature and wind. Very few show dew point (or humidity). My main source is the aviation forecasts, which show all the parameters, but only for some locations, and never in graphical form.

At present most of Gauteng is in the 20s temperature wise, but dew point is 0C, consistent with the OP. Dew points along the coast are 10C and upwards.

Edit: I seldom look at dew point charts, but they do exist:
