The key point about this week is not so much the absolute intensity of the rain, but the fact that every day has some amount of rain. The long-term climate statistics for CT in June show an average of 13.3 days with rainfall >= 0.1mm. To have multiple consecutive wet days seems unusually relentless, with no sunny breaks to warm up, or dry laundry, etc.

Yup, its a constant non stop rain this past week and a bit and for the rest of this week too into next week
The dam levels all around the western cape are going to look very good at the end of the month.
I think we have dodged Day Zero this year

This post below is from yesterday 12th June 2023

Thank you, please let me know tomorrow
I can handle rain and winds up to 15 metres per second now in my 50s.
Anything more than that I feel like I am going to fall off my jet ski

Expected conditions for tomorrow:

Really got sick of how damp it was the entire time and got myself a dehumidifier.

Guess which room it's in?

Which one did you get? I'm busy looking at getting one as well. It's just too damn damp in this place lol.

I see the weather bureau has issued a warning for tomorrow.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

I see on 2 apps that the gale force winds will be around midnight to 3am and then tapering off
I should be fine on my jetski leaving home at 7am tomorrow morning
Hopefully

Wind is picking up in Kenilworth, turning into a real frontal storm tonight...

Edit: Really bucketing down at 4:30am! About 45mm in our gauge at 5:30am (not an accurate number), with large puddles on our lawn, which I haven't seen for several years...

Crisis, it's sounding rough out there (Northern Subs)

The wind is crazy...been up since 4am since apparently I have a loose gutter somewhere

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

The storm is dying down
Should be fine on the jetski at 7am

Doesn't sound like it here Goodwood side, rain still coming down hard with strong gusts of wind.

And 10 mins later it turns completely quiet.

Do you have to navigate the "pothole" in Hawkins Avenue?

I had a lot of standing water on the way to work this morning, in places it's never been before. Storm water drainage system is under strain.
