The SAWS reports modest amounts of rain along the SW-Cape coast during the 24 hours to 8am on Sun 25th: https://www.weathersa.co.za/images/data/climate/nr_daily_rai.pdf
Highest include Kirstenbosch 16mm, Jonkershoek 13mm, George 11mm, Molteno Reservoir (CBD) 10mm, etc.

The cool conditions will move far up the eastern coast of SA during the next few days. It will become much warmer over CT by the middle of next week (end-February), and dry until the following week (Mon 4th).

Tomorrow (Wed 28th) will be even hotter than today! After that things will cool down considerably. Rain is likely on Mon 4th as a cutoff-low brushes the SW-Cape coast.

And after that @CTBP expect another two mid to high thirty days..

It'll be another month and a half, at least, before we get consistent cooler temps..
 
At least the days are getting shorter so less time in this heat each day
 
How windy is it going to be tomorrow?
I want to use table mountain cable car tomorrow and it was apparently near the 35km/hr wind speed today which is when they stop the car running. What happens if you are stuck up there due to come down with the cable car and it gets too windy?

Take off your belt, swing it around the cable and hold on for dear life all the way down..

If the forecast holds, it'll be reaching 20km/h by 6pm, less than that throughout the day..

Very little wind tomorrow, that's why its going to be hot! If you don't believe me, check this forecast:

Table Mountain Weather Forecast (1087m)

Table Mountain, Cape Ranges, Southern Africa, South Africa Mountain weather forecast for 1087m. Detailed 6 day mountain weather forecast for climbers and mountaineers.

P.S. I recall the cable car bring rated up to 70km/h, 35km/h is a very low threshold...

I'm not 100% sure on that but a few sites mentioned above 35km/hr being the point when they start thinking about stopping the cable car, could be wrong though.
Any idea how do the winds on Thursday look?
