What I don't get is that they only sent out 1600MW less

In the last few weeks we went up on Sunday nights, only down on some Saturday nights I think, so maybe weekend "bonuses" are over and the S3 is locked in now. They're ignoring day to day changes for shedding.

Heaviest winter S4 nights and maybe S2 days, S5 worst.

My area just 2 degrees less. "Coldest" is 16 on Tuesday.

Pretoria is the same as our Fourways, Pta North about one degree higher.
