[Geoff.D]

Pouring in pta east. No thunder etc just rain.
Thunder in the distance

 

[Jase]

And I have the buckets in place. These internal gutters just cannot handle the downpour

F'all in Pta East

We seem to be missing it every time. Usually it would move a little more north before moving east, now it just misses us completely.

Okay I'll take that back. It came down with a vengeance last night (at around 11.30).

I measured 25mm.

 

[Genisys]

Not 100% sure, but sounds like it's firing up again...

Where? Kyalami is sunshine & clear blue skies as far as the eye can see.
