I can`t remember what I have said. Experts have warned about the approaching el nino, so I am just saying that there is more extreme drought coming soon and we should not be celebrating yet.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Metro’s largest dam, the Impofu Dam, has officially been decommissioned.
EDIT:
Impofu Dam re-commissioned as dam levels rise | News24
After seven months of being unable to extract water from the Impofu Dam when it was de-commissioned in January due to extremely low water levels, water levels have since risen sufficiently for it to be re-commissioned.

Unsurprisingly, the "Weather Guru" has gone on record saying he hopes the drought restrictions never end.

Indeed. I measured 30mm earlier on. We even had a frog try and come inside the house! You know the yard is wet when the frogs seek shelter inside

Ja, we had some excellent rain last week. Saw the Loerie dam on Saturday while I was there for the Nartjiefees, it is tiny. We need a few hundred more Loerie dams...
