Apparently February is going to be bone dry. But then again I don't trust climatologists as far as I can thrown them!

This is by far the coolest january in recorded history , in jhb anyhow.

Damn i have yet to see a 30-32 degree day. Hope it comes feb and this rain is all good and well but good lord it is a bit much now. Wish it would move to parts that need it.

I've got rainfall records for the past 20 years at my house, and we are presently sitting 215 mm BEHIND the figure for last January. Only 25 mm so far this month....just bloody hot and humid and NO rain - KZN South Coast

Ah but Claymore says it's been the hottest summer in recent years. Who to believe

Not surprising seeing that bafana has won a game.

Come to George our dam is at 21% and we have serious water restrictions - they say
worst drought in 132 years - what has changed in the last 20 years - less trees by alot.
Plenty of housing estates with not a tree in sight

Todays satellite Image
http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?subset=SERVIR_Africa_South_Central.2010023.terra.1km

250m is a much higher resolution 1 pixel=250m

Look at these high res satellite images too

Old posting

Very High Resolution Satellite Images of the Earth

Thought that this would be interesting if you want really high res images.
Images updated 10:00am (Terra satellite) and about 15:00 hrs (Aqua satellite)

Whole Earth displayed http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/
Africa http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/#Africa

10924 x 5008 pixels 8.3 Mb (Be warned) :shock: - looks like image was taken approx 10:00am
(1 pixel = 250 m)

Download the Google Earth KML file (8.1 Mb large with in Google Earth)and then choose the
1) GE Layers -> More -> Tracks4Africa -> Roads
2) GE Layers -> Gallery -> Tracks4Africa -> Places (display towns, villages etc)
easier to move zoom into images. Amazing this technology

Last year they said we will have a very dry Summer?

Holy cow, that's an epic low pressure system to have over a desert... <_<

Yeah and if that Low was over water it would raise the water level under the Low by 1cm per Millibar ( i think thats right)
