Weather app said that we will have plenty rain at around 12h00 and it still hot as hell and no rain at all

 

[supersunbird]

No, we as not talking about South Guateng nor the East Rand nor the Woes Rand...

 

[Geoff.D]

I'm sure there will be rain sometime. The only problem I have is that they predict massive downpours of rain sometimes and then nothing happens at all. Like a friend once told me. He said if they predict that there is a 60% chance of rain it only means that 6 out of the 10 people at weather service thinks there is a possibility of any rain.

Well I couldn't care less about JHB rain.. Although, I wish the rain would fall in Cape Town for a few weeks, and not bloody half a day, and then nothing for weeks. Sigh lol

Currently SAWS website show lightning quite far north of PTA (Polokwane) as well as South East around Standerton.
Only storms showing up on radar are around Standerton and North of Polokwane. At least some of the radar system seem to be back up and running.

But the day is young!

Everybody needs rain soon but I think it's worse in your area.

True, sun is out and unless we have a rainy summer, it's not looking great

 

[Geoff.D]

Some signs of the predicted storm activity developing between Warmbad (Bela Bela) and PTA at the moment.

 

[supersunbird]

Google says 90% chance at 11pm

Grumbling in Centurion, radar shows a small storm coming from North West

 

[Geoff.D]

The Rumbling is almost overhead in PTA east.

Time to cut the ADSL line and get off the PC. .....

Just rained a bit here between Pretoria and Brits. Little bit of hail. Size pretty big but it's soft. Maybe the size of big grapes

 

[minkukel]

Raining softly in Centurion. No copper line to conduct lightning.
