Definitely, never experienced a November quite like this in CT.
That 15mm fell in just an hour or 2 of heavy rain, contrary to the forecast which predicted 1 to 2mm from 6pm onwards for a few hours.
Skies did look dark and ominous for hours from early eve but nothing....until after 8pm when the heavens opened and lightning flashed repeatedly.

Jeepers, what was that last night, a Gauteng storm reproduced in Cape Town (sans all the damage it causes to electronics).
Nonetheless I see it even leaked in the garage... An item now on the to-do list... along with cleaning the gutters.

The late afternoon visible satellite image (7pm on Fri 26th) shows cloud tops highlighted by the setting sun, with several isolated thunderstorms approaching Cape Town:

The pink flowers are those roses that climb stuff. In the corner is a baby lemon tree and below the roses had a bunch of basil plants.

It's cold, windy, and cloudy near Table Mountain, with rain imminent. Your turn will come...
Edit: Bucketing down in Kenilworth by sunset. Feels like a real winter cold front!

And far earlier than forecast. Was only meant to start around 11pm carrying on until early tomorrow, but I'm not complaining .. months of hot, blistering, gasping heat coming with barely a spit of rain.

I didn't post the link, because daylight images are only visible for certain hours, and glancing light only at sunrise and sunset. I previously posted the link for infrared images, which are available 24/7. Change the settings if you want other inage types:

It's just light rain this side on the west coast. No lightning or thunder at all.

Light rain in Strand as well, wet, but not cold. It is colder than yesterday, yesterday it was pouring down, but it was warm.
