Rain and storm for Cpt

[Gordon_R]

[snip]

The temperature at an elevation of 1200m is down to 3.0C this morning, so a light dusting of snow is possible on the higher peaks in the SW-Cape.

The effects of the cutoff-low seem likely to mostly to miss Cape Town itself, though there will be plenty of rain inland and further east.

The developing cutoff low still seems likely to have limited effects on CT, but will definitely bring cold and wet conditions to the interior, with significant snow possible over the Karoo on Mon 3rd, and the Drakensberg on Tues 4th:

The rainfall in CT is very unevenly distributed, with about 450mm/yr at the airport, but much more over the mountains. The SAEON Dwarsberg (Jonkershoek) mountain catchment station has an average in excess of 3000mm/yr. That station recorded 60mm on Fri 31st (see above).

The rain in the DA areas is spread out all over evenly so that everyone can benefit from some nice needed rain

Well it's certainly not spread nice and evenly, but unlike other provinces it's not all captured solely for the ANC leaving nothing for everyone else
