Oi! Poor old El Nino. Gets the blame for everything.Yup. The wind in Vredekloof (especially if you Iive at the top of the ridge) is something ele.

El Nino mainly affects the summer rainfall pattern in SA. It has no known effects on the winter rainfall pattern in CT. In any case El Nino is expected to end by Jun 2024, before our peak winter rainfall season.

I bloody guy in a Land Cruiser stopped in the smoke. Then a bakkie towing a horse trailer crashed into the back of him (no horse onboard). The trailer broke loose and probably burnt up in the fire. Way too dangerous to go
through.

Here where I live the wind is going to put fellers out of business. I have already seen some UFOs of the nature variety.
It is also frustrating that my yard has become the designated leaf basket for the entire neighborhood.

When I still lived in Gordon's Bay against the mountain I have seen all kinds of things blown around by the breeze through the sky. Everything from garden gnomes to large vases, roofs... yeah, roofs, and seemingly a lot of those splash pools.

In 5 years of living in GB, and 11 in Stellies, I've never experienced wind like this.
Hell, I was having to fight the wind on the N2 earlier in my RRS, and that's a 2.5t tank!

The SAEON Dwarsberg (Jonkershoek) mountain weather station recorded a peak wind gust of 26m/s (94km/h) during the evening of Sat 6th.
The wind in Kenilworth has not felt particularly strong IMO. I attribute this to the sheltering effects of the mountain, given the mostly Easterly direction prevailing at present.
