The satellite image (11am on Wed 17th) shows a partially developed cutoff low, with most of the activity far offshore, very little over Cape Town, and some to the east in the Overberg:

Pelting down since 2pm.. very odd weather I must say for mid November!
Will it be the last for today?!
Rather enjoying the break from the oppressive humidity of late.

Very odd indeed! Had about 10 minutes of really intense downpour here in Milnerton. Thunderstorm size raindrops. Now it's stopped again.

Thought is was going to clear up this afternoon, but suddenly turned dark and pouring + thunder.

@Gordon_R So how many mm has your guage reported? Forecast was 0-10mm.

The wind direction has swung full circle now, definitely a Black South Easter today...

Google photos actually reminded me today with some pics I took in November 2013 of the flooding in Somerset West.

Basically eight years ago almost to the day.

Yeah, that one was a bit more intense though! Mind you, if this one had been 200km north, the results would be the same...

8.5mm here in Bellville today. Way too early, but just noticed on Yr some rather aggressive rainfall numbers shown for 25/26 Nov.

The long-range forecast shows heavy rain in the Overberg and Garden Route as well as most of the interior of SA, but not much for CT and PE during the next 7 days:
