Where can I check yesterday's wind speed for Wellington? Every weather service site only displays from the current day and onwards.

There’s a weather station at Eden Farm. You can access the data from all private, internet-enabled stations using the Davis WeatherLink app on iOS and Android.

4 layers of socks and a beanie is normal for me now, even while sleeping. I'm not one to watch the weather that closely, but this must be the coldest winter I've ever experienced, day after day of sub 10 night temps. The rain's just kicked off again now.

I didn't post earlier, but there was light hail thrashing against my south facing bedroom window at 4am this morning. Hopefully a bit drier today.

N.B. No significant rain in the foreseeable future, and much warmer by Fri 17th.

Yeah the hail woke me up at 4am it was hammering down.

We seem to be at the tail end of the cold front now.
 
I have been looking at Clanwilliam dam recently, from a capacity perspective, a bit smaller than Berg River, but what is incredible, is how quickly it can fill up.

They were talking of raising the dam wall to significantly increase capacity, but with all the corruption at national Water Board, quite sure it has been put on hold.

It's not put on hold, and don't confuse the well run DA Western Cape government with the corrupt ANC run government.

Update: Clanwilliam Dam wall raising

A long-delayed project to raise the Clanwilliam Dam wall, will be completed by March 2023, and is projected to cost R3.5 billion.

yep, but what got my attention is - the project is the responsibility of the National Department of Water and Sanitation. - have they not declared they have no money?
Would be keen to see a progress report :-)

They got funding from the NDWA. According to the latest reports (August 2019) the project is on track for completion in 2023.

Too soon to ask for water restrictions to be lifted?

Restrictions are at Level 1 already. Doubt the city will ever go to 'Level 0' because they need to show permanent saving measures. Cape Town never went below Level 1, at least not in past 15 years.
The tariffs being charged presently are also labeled 'Level 1'.
