Awesome lightning storm out in the bay of Kommetjie and Noordhoek. Yellow lightning, looks like incandescent filament from my vantage.

That's the entrance to Newlands Forest Fire Base, off the N3 on the eastern side of Table Mountain in Cape Town. The helicopters are parked just behind the trees on the right.

Sunny and hot today (Tuesday), with several models predicting thundershowers overnight for CT.

Late Christmas present: rainy run in summer. Tho feels like wind whipping water off very low cloud. Good either way.

Uhhh more rain? In December? How often do we have years like this? Feels like it's been winter all year bar a couple days. I'm used to sweating my balls off in 32C this time of year.

[dualmeister]

Like heaven after the heat.

Wait for it, another (weak) cold front is preducted for 1st Jan!? Mother Nature is trying to keep the beaches clear this summer...

Historical the 1st of Jan has always had at least cloud cover and on occasion some rain..

Waking up to the sound of rain.
Awesome

It's been drizzling here in Somerset West non stop for last 4 hours.
Those New Years Day beachgoers must be sooooo upset today. LOL

Gordon got the prediction right

Been raining on and off since early this morning here in Milnerton. Nice dark skies.

Perfect weather to nurse the New Years hangover.

5.5mm in our gauge in Kenilworth this morning. Significant waterfalls visible on Table Mt. Definitely unusual for 1st Jan...

An upper trough will move down over the western interior of SA over the next few days, bringing widespread showers over parts of the Western, Northern and Eastern Cape Provinces. Cape Town may experience rain on Sun 9th and Mon 10th:

Go take a dip in the river.

Was at the beach at 5am this morning for a walk and it was already filling up by the time we left at 6am. Can't imagine what it looks like now.
