[Pineapple Smurf]

Yeah, just rain,but you must see the speed morons drive at in this rain.

True Story, all us Cape Tonians do an extra 30km/h in the rain, fun times

Edit #2: Another 23.6mm on Dwarsberg between 7pm and 8pm. Over 60mm in 4 hours!?

Crazy numbers, love it!

pffttt... I bike everyday Somerset West --> Paarden Eiland
This today is just a gay spit. Not rain But I must say the wind was awesome, I was windsurfing sideways home on N2 @ 150km/h

I doubt @Rouxenator can do that kind of speeds on his bike though.

Maybe with a south Easter behind him...

That was a lot of water over a short time. Drain blocked outside and almost flooded the house. I had to clear up in haste, in the rain.

The center of the storm passed south of Cape Town, but there is no question that it was an unusually powerful low-pressure, with deep-sea swells reaching 10-12m.

That is a pity. The weather guys last night were predicting the front would move quite far inland. Yet the pressure systems over the country indicated to me, that the front would not do so. Would have done a lot if the front could have helped with that fire issue.

The SAWS reports modest amounts of rain in many of the coastal areas (where the fires were). The freakish values over the mountains were due to exceptional conditions. See: http://www.weathersa.co.za/media/data/climate/nr_daily_rai.pdf

Highest include Jonkershoek 47mm, Kirstenbosch 32mm, Grabouw 27mm, Ceres 20mm, Paarl 14mm, Villersdorp 14mm, Wellington 14mm, Strand 10mm, etc. By contrast Hermanus only recorded 3mm.

In Cape Town usually even slower than their usual stoner speeds.

Some light rain to begin the morning, but now coming down a bit harder. Been raining since I awoke at 8am or so! Great stuff!

 

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

Yea, nice and cool for a lazy Sunday

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Had a little bit of rain here in Milnerton - hoping for more!

Good steady drizzle in Durbanville

decent enough in Gardens. JKH had a decent JAN19 and also a great start to FEB19 with approx. 32mm already today

edit - 65.53mm, very decent considering FEB is a low rainfall month.
