Rain and storm for Cpt

[PaulGherkin]

Jirre thank God... I couldn't do more of this heat and humidity...

Absolutely bucketing down in SSW.

Garage properly flooded, I was outside with broom trying to clear debris from stormwater drains.

Heavy thunder over False Bay as well, didn't look like it was going to rain as it was bright and sunny most of the morning and afternoon until those ominous clouds rolled in and the heavens opened.. still muggy as ****, and the rain isn't cooling things.... my skin feels like sticky tape.

Still so humid and warm. Can still skinny dip in this rain

...or run around in your garden naked if you have 1 like a Bronze Age pagan rain Gd worshipper, you might even be forgiven by your neighbours wife if you are well enough endowed!

That's not going to help. Only an air-conditioner can lower the humidity, making conditions tolerable. Try sitting in a car for a while (if you can afford the petrol).

Huh?

Humidifier is die last thing you want now, it makes this worse. You want a dehumidifier.

Humidity is already at like 60-odd% ain't it?

Yes, but feels like 90% near the coast here.

Clarence drive is apparently closed due to rock falls.

And the daft okes in toy cars will try anything! Hope that guy got through and out of the water before the engine stopped working.

18 mm last night and another 20 mm this afternoon, Vredekloof. I don't know if this is excessive or abnormal for this time of the year, but the garden loves it!

As to humidity - I am measuring close to 80% which makes things really bad coupled with the >30 degrees C temperature.

And that numbnut drives into the river... clearly doesn't know about the risk of hydro-lock causing costly engine repairs
