The world moved on to SSD's 10 years ago already. What cave are you living in?

SSDs are still expensive, not all of us earn R1m a year, some of us have to support whole families and the ANC makes it extremely difficult to do so.

Lol 1TB is only R2k https://www.takealot.com/wd-blue-1tb-sata-ssd/PLID49443083. Cheap as chips considering all the benefits.

Why would Table bay of all places get so hot, I would have thought being right next to the Atlantic it would have been cooler than places like Paarl?

Agree but their website does say there may be errors at some stations

That only works when there is a wind or breeze.. during this time of the year, city bowl, table bay etc, have days of no wind..

I did a quick search and WMO 68817 is Portnet container dock terminal in Cape Town harbour. It is not really 'next to' the Atlantic, and in the middle of a dense urbanised area (heat island effect).

And there was ZERO wind yesterday and that particular part of Portnet is surrounded by tarmac so the sun bouncing off there would have been horrific

Doubt it... today is a lot cooler than yesterday.

My Oregon weather station reported a temperature of 38.2° at 12PM yesterday, while today it's 8° cooler at 30.6° here in Milnerton

Surface moisture levels are quite high, with fog patches likely at times along the coast over the next few days. This will make conditions feel more humid, even though temperatures will decline somewhat.

Darn. It was 26'C at Blouberg and now 35'C at home

 

[Tinuva]

The average outside temperature over the last 24 hours is 32.9 degrees... Let that sink in...

Imagine February and March if this goes on.

Just woke up, lekker nap in the lounge, cool breeze blowing outside
