Tomorrow morning?

 

[Gordon_R]

Tomorrow morning?

If you count 6am as morning, then potentially yes. The vast majority of the rain and snow will be over by midnight.

Yup, manager at the sailing club there, Jacques, sent me a WhatsApp earlier on, 99.57%
It's looking awesome there today, some pretty big winds at the moment that side

This is early winter and really great volume of water stored, after where things were, highlights one has no idea as to what Ma Nature has in store.
I hope this dose not cause desalination to get forgotten as we still seem to have an increasing population.

With many of the CoCT dams in the 90s, the average level rose 4% last week to 93% this morning (before the latest cold front). The last big dam to keep an eye on is Voelvlei, which rose 8% to 76%. See: https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family ...and-sanitation-services/this-weeks-dam-levels

The DWS indicates that the Clanwilliam Dam is also in the 90s (was in the 20s a month ago). Sadly very little increase elsewhere, in the most needed areas...

Rain has abated here in S Subs, been pretty hard and constant since 7am ish, though forecast says it set to continue into early hours of tomorrow.

We shall see!

Quite a bit of hail.

Shhh, don't tell the people from Gauteng, they will laugh! Hail in CT is usually a sign that snow is imminent over the mountains, though of course hail and snow are not the same phenomenon.

They should stay in their own thread . We don't get it often enough. Over in a flash and the sun is out.
