Any rain is good rain give our current situation.... I would have said it was raining cats and dogs if it was a downpour

Sigh. Must say I found it to be a little drizzle as well. Hopefully other areas got better rain.

Just went out to look at pool and tank collections, not a huge amount but it's certainly working.

Been coming down constantly for the past hour in Somerset West.

Is that why they call it a desert?

As predicted, rainfall distribution around Cape Town was very patchy last night. The main benefit was the substantially cooler conditions!

In Kenilworth we recevied 6.5mm, most of which fell between 8-9pm.

The SAEON Constantiaberg station recorded 24mm up to midnight, and dry thereafter.

The SAEON Dwarsberg (Jonkershoek) station recorded 17.5mm up to midnight, and approximately the same amount thereafter.

Despite the moderately good rainfall over the mountain catchments, I do not expect any significant inflows into the dams, mostly due to the very low soil moisture content.

The next rain for the Western Cape is a band of scattered thundershowers on Mon 12th and Tues 13th, some of which may (or may not) reach Cape Town itself. It will be very warm and humid during this period.

If they get rain , it's a dessert.

cheers for that Gordon_R, glad to hear the catchment areas received got some, at this point I am happy with any rain

Seems the rain has passed. Durbanville race course is damp with a couple of clouds.

Did you doubt my forecasting ability, LOL!?

Anyone know how much it rained in Somerset West?

We were WELL prepared and it seriously paid off.

1mm in Goodwood. What a disappointment.

Was the same in Blouberg

 

[Geoff.D]

And after that things look bleak again, certainly for the next 10 days or so.

A bit of drizzle in Milnerton. That was it.
