Quite scary to see how far behind we are with rainfall in Cape Town this year, I know it's not technically winter yet but still... Last year this time according to my excel sheet (I keep track of rainfall) we had 163mm of rain in Brackenfell, this year the total is 25mm so far.

Really hope it improves and that we get good rainfall, really did not like the 2 minute showers back in 2017 and the no flushing of toilets...

For CT 2023 was an above average rainfall year, so it's not a fair comparison. The long term trend shows that we are bang in the middle of the expected range, with dam levels at 61% (May). The start of the winter rainfall season is always variable, what is important is the number at the end of the season (October).

It can stay like this, we dont need the rain. Water your garden with tap water.

You didn't state that though ;)

Goodwood doesn't have webcams, they get stolen there :whistling:

That's my thinking too. May has never been traditionally a rainy month. The rains normally come from June onwards. Last year was definitely not the norm.

Those are CCTV cameras operated by the City of Cape Town to monitor roads and intersections.

They aren't public webcams.

Monitor my A$$ ... nobody seems to monitor them ... with accidents and traffic congestion nothing positive comes from having these cams ... nobody seems to notice or send out help .. it's a "BS nice to have excuse to spend money on something" that nobody actually uses !!!!
