Rain and storm for Cpt

[jezzad]

Measure 73mm or rain in the last 48hrs in Wynberg

My car's thermometer showed 11.5C on the way to work this morning.

Each day it's getting a degree or two colder.

Also used my heater for the first time this weekend.

Yeah, slowly getting into winter....

Gauge here almost overflowing in Kenilworth, about 50mm up to 10am. Bit of a gap in the clouds and wind now. Large waterfall on Table Mt!

Edit: It was dry between 10am and 11am, so I decided to take the dog for a walk. Big mistake...

IN CT take a coat gloves etc umbrella with you at all times.

We read a total of 83.5mm in lower Claremont from 8am-ish from Thursday to Saturday. We need another 25mm to get to our 31 year May average of 147mm. March was our wettest ever (just) and April our driest ever (just, again).

I know it's the rain thread but...jus today was amazing!

My kid needs to get the daily high and low temperature data for the past 20 years for Cape Town for a school project. We've enquired with SA weather but no luck there. Any other resources we should be looking at?

The last few years have become a 'zombie' zone, with the SAWS being deliberately unhelpful. There are alternative sources, but they tend to be slightly older. A better option might be 20 years from 1990 to 2010 for example.

International bodies do store data, but it may take some work: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/temp-and-precip/global-maps/

Thanks - they didn't even bother to reply.

I found a service called Visual Crossing that charged R12 for the data.

Data should be 'free', but there's always a source for information, at a price...

P.S. I used to keep weather records as a kid, by looking at the daily newspapers for several years. Times have changed...

It all started with the strategy that SAWS has to become financially self-sustaining .......

That was about as successful as Eskom becoming profitable /s

Yes and the source of that crap is the same heh!
A useless populous revolutionary movement who had only one thing driving it and that was and is not a prosperous developed country.

Bit of rain coming this week, pulled from yr.no

 

[WAslayer]

Yeah.. two fronts will be grazing the western cape.. on Sunday evening a bigger front will make landfall..

I forgot to check the CoCT dam levels for last week, up a remarkable 4.7% to 74.5%!

We have had a lot of rain at Theewaterskloof, each week my rain catcher on my plot is sitting at around 70mm for 2 consecutive weeks.
I see Theewaters has recorded 167mm for this month which normally yields 48mm, and there's still more rain coming here on Monday

No. I like to pop in here once in a while and let everyone know how Durban's weather is like though.
