Just heard the loudest bit of thunder over here in the north. Hopefully the rain starts soon.

No thunder in Helderberg. It is wet, but no heavy rain. The wind is more calm, but still has its bursts as per the usual in this valley.

Persistent moderate rain in Kenilworth this morning. Predicted to last most of the day. Cumulative totals could be quite large.
SAEON Dwarsberg (Jonkershoek mountain catchment) recorded an impressive 98mm up to midnight!
Edit: Maximum wind gust was 32m/s (115km/h)!
Edit: A bit quieter in Kenilworth now. Only 20mm in our rain gauge, but it is not positioned for winds coming from the SE direction.

The council contractors were doing a lot of preventive drain cleaning last month, at least in our area. Autumn leaves get everwhere, particularly during a major wind event.

Useful summary of events over the weekend:

Wild SA weather: Fire razes three Cape Town houses, further damage, chaos
As stormy weather hit many parts of the country on Sunday, several properties were destroyed in a fire fanned by gale-force winds in Glencairn, Cape Town, while storms caused significant damage in other areas.

Lucky you ... the Epping flooding is a year after year problem ... reported numerous times. They just find it easier to plant a traffic vehicle there and force 100's of vehicles into a different direction ... which in itself causes even more chaos

Jah, our pool this am is about 10cm higher than it was yesterday.
But it's also green due to all the sand/dust from all the construction sites around us that blew in there

As much as I like them, they will never get enough votes even in WC/CapeTown nvm the rest of the country.
Lets keep on weathering!

Probably jinxing it, but I think the school closures were a bit unnecessary.

Made the traffic so much better to town though...

At least it will keep the arrogance in the DA down. With more FF+ influence in the coalition, maybe that stupid 3.5kW feed-in rate will be scrapped.
