And the Chinese make great copies of products and the sky is full of pixies... It is possible yeah, as technically Koeberg unit 1 was supposed to be synched back to the grid by now, then it was moved to August, then September.

Haha, lol. But I'm not counting Koeberg as I know unit 2 will be taken off soon after unit 1 is re-synchronized so a net effect of zero.

Well no they won't switch of unit 2 immediately, they'll probably switch it off around December, January as refueling cycle would be coming up again.

We just using Koeberg as an example of missed deadlines.

I mean we could just use Kusile and Medupi as missed deadlines, as they are presently 8 years past

Not good examples as they will be (re)building those 2 things for the next 100 years.

How long do you think they would take to build more................ nuclear?

The ground clearing would take 5 years for the exclusion zone, but it would all grow back again, so it would need to be clear again... Rinse and repeat.

A cold-front is predicted to pass over the SW-Cape on Fri 7th, spreading east on Sat 8th, and covering almost the entire southern and central parts of SA by Sun 9th. Very cold daytime temperatures will occur, with snow over all the high mountain ranges (from the Cederberg to the Drakensberg). Long range forecasts indicate possible traces of sleet or snow over parts of the eastern Free State and Mpumalanga on Mon 10th (rather speculative).

Most of the media forecasts are for 2-3 days. This is a heads-up for the outlook over 4-6 days, which none of the media will give you. The accuracy is never 100% at long durations, but it will absolutely be cold across most of the area shown.

Sure, but you need to put more aplomp into it ;-)

That cold front is having a holiday in the Midlands. 'tsek man! We full.

 

[Brian_G]

My side of Jo'burg - predictions have dropped to 10 degrees max on Monday, but will recover soon enough. Next worse is 14 degrees, so @DarkSt0rm don't worry you won't die.

Not if he stays in bed with triple blankets and a gas heater and does toe warming exercises.
