Outside temperature was 7.5°C yesterday when I came back from my run at 7am. It's measuring 16.1°C on my outside thermometer now. Seems it's always warmer when there is cloud cover.

I reckon you might see some of the bergies who live under the Old Bridge floating down the river later.

After looking at the predictions on the Windy app, we might be in for a little thunderstorm on Friday evening, I always get my hopes up but let's wait and see.

Pls don't eat any chili poppers today. It's windy enough.

Interesting to hear about the strength of the burg winds! Up here in JHB the wind was unexpectedly strong yesterday, also from the north blowing south west-ish

I'm very interested to see the intensity of this front once it arrives

So where is this rain thing? Thought it was supposed to hit us in Bellville just after 9AM but still nothing.

Hey, stop soeking kak with mother nature. Famous last words and all that. Where I'm sitting in Bothasig things are getting pretty squirrelly out there and I reckon it will start coming down within the hour.
