It's storming like crazy in Cape Town

[Alan]

Overcast and drizzling. This wet weather beats having the gales which haven't materialized this year....

in the USA paaaardner..

Correct!!

Almost every day it's been humid but we watch the storm clouds come overhead then disappear again. We had done slight drizzle yesterday but the big storm just hit now. What's so nice about this weather is that it's not cold even when it's raining.

I would be more worried about centipedes than alligators......are they the venomous variety?

 

[waynegohl]

No idea but there are various varieties here.

Indeed the other day there was a SE blowing with low clouds motoring overhead yet just above that was another layer of clouds moving equally fast in the other direction. Bit of a mind fsck to see clouds moving in the opposite direction to the wind you are feeling

Got some thunder ...

...and lightning while I was busy outside. At least it's a very nice evening now that it has cooled down.

Over the past two days, my neighbour’s house thought that it be a great idea to relocate to our ERF. His owners should come and collect him…

Nah, no pics, but true story though. Even some clay ornaments which was on his balcony are all over our garden, need to go pick them up... and their roof... Damn Germans bombarding us.

hasn't been as strong as it usually is.

Yep, not as strong, but very persistent this year, she have not yet catch a breath since Saturday up against the mountain. The wind is way calmer in Strand and Somerset West.

I want to see the wind speeds that they monitor on Hans se Kop this year.
