Man besides for one day it's been raining for like 3 weeks and it looks like it's continuing that way.
I don't recall so much rain in recent years.

but we need this rain and for cpt winter a week of rain is normal until we had droughts so good to have this rain ..the cold did come early though

The humidity is through the roof, that is why the cold bites. Also the wind clawing its way in at every crack.

I believe El Nino is back.

The heavy rains started much earlier this year.




Question is whether they will continue through August or if this is it.

Houses in RSA aren’t insulated properly so winter feels extra cold. This amount of rain used to be normal back in the early 2000s

Apparently the recommended indoor humidity is 40-60%. Ours hasn't been as low as 60% in 2 weeks.

Can't you just slip on a second blouse when you're cold?

It gets to 90% humidity when a cold front strikes. That is worse than Dirtbin

I remember school days were miserable during winter as you could never go out during break time due to it pouring with rain and being freezing cold.

Winters for the past 10 years have definitely been more moderate. This winter so far reminds me of the 2000's.

We're moving from La Nina to El Nino, so unusual weather across the country...
