Dwarsberg looking good

Any potential for that to find its way into Theewaterskloof?

Runoff depends on soil moisture saturation, and in the middle of summer it tends to be very low. The last significant rain in December produced very disappointing runoff.

BTW, Dwarsberg mountain weather station is a better proxy for direct inflow into the Berg River dam, than Theewaterskloof which includes a large area of low-elevaton marginal-rainfall catchment (except in very wet years).

Well, I awoke this morning to a rolling wet mist, that had crept in during the night, off the Southern Atlantic ocean a mere 5km away.... as the day warmed, around 11.... the mist burnt away, a moderate afternoon, not much wind for a change, pockets of warm air floating about, The Moose opened his first beer, then the Gods turned, around 15h00 , they sent the mist back, shrouding the little town of Oranjemund, in mist..wet , damp and grey, a smothering dampness..... as the rest of the African Sub continent dwelled in abnormal heat, we sat, as usual, in the cold wet mist.....]

Ja! ok, no well fine....
 
Sorry, I missed your q.

In the middle of the afternoon., when the mist pulled back, there was quite a bit of alto stratus clouds, shearing in from the NW, lasted about two hours and then the heavens became clear....

I was there 6 weeks ago, the spaniards have built a massive solar tower about 10km west of the town!
