Please specify your location. It's bone dry in my area.

Sorry im in the Mitchells Plain area.. It came down nicely for about 10 mins, and then a bit of light drizzle. Mostly overcast after that.

There was a brief shower at 12:30 when I was in Newlands. Not a drop at home in Kenilwort (so far). Wind is picking up, and weather is really starting to change.

The massive bank of clouds incoming looks pretty impressive.

Underwhelming given what was said to be expected. Not a single noticeable water drop today, but when I went to the school their grass was wet. Only the wind now, not even howling. The winter air smells good though.

Typed and published my post and it started to rain.

The calm before the storm. Tool this at about 5:30 in Somerset West looking toward the Pass.
It's been bucketing down for the last hour.

Bone dry in Milnerton. Looks like the worst part of the system has moved further south toward Cape Agulhas.
