The Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread!

[Mortymoose]

Yes.

This is indeed good news for me, living at the mouth of the Orange, been sad watching the flow of the waters at the mouth diminish over the years...

And our backup dam, that stores even more water than the Vaal dam and has smalller sruface and in a cooler area, is at 93.8%, the Sterkfontein Dam.

20mm at my place

 

[Drifter]

We got 12mm last night.

 

[Sinbad]

Interesting, vaal dam inflow has dropped sharply the last few days. Have they turned off the taps from Katse?

Advise you get your vehicles under cover. Reports indicate that Krugersdorp is being hit with golf ball sized hail.

 

[Sinbad]

Massive lightning sizzle and thunderclap here in Meyersdal. Started raining right after.

The SAWS website is available for all at the moment. My source is behind a firewall.

Just enough rain to get me off the roof and reschedule my project for next weekend.

Made me rethink as well though, instead of just resealing I'm going to lift the first row of roof tiles in order to clean out, then drop the gutters a couple of cm, then put the tiles back and then seal properly.

It's a rumbling an it's a grumbling in Pretoria East.

Some dark clouds approaching.

 

[Moosedrool]

Taking timelapse of what seems to be a building multicellular storm over Krugersdorp. No rain or hail yet in Breaunanda area, at least since last night.

 

[cavedog]

Small hail, lightning and a lot of rain damn @ Menlyn Mall.

 

[Genisys]

Wonder if there is going to be more tonight.

 

[APoc184]

Well that was a a bit of a dud.

5min of promising looking rain.... Aaaand it's gone and the sun is shining.
