The Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread!

[Sinbad]

Rained all night in Ballito too

Put your lights on, twats.

Pfft I see your mains and raise you park lights and fogs. It's foggy everyday here in PTA East these days.

 

[Drifter]

Left for work early due to rain, was a breeze for me. Sounds like it is a mess. Still, my lawn is loving the water.

Same here, I left home at 04:50am.

We need lots of rain. the drought is looming over SA

 

[Sinbad]

No it's not.

We need lots of rain. the drought is looming over some parts of SA

FTFY. And this is the Gauteng thread, where it's very much not applicable.

 

[R13...]

All this rain appears not to have any effect on the Vaal system. Maybe it is just not falling in the catchment areas

it takes time for the water to reach the vaal, which has in fact been increasing lately.

Nice!

I wouldn't say "no effect"...


And every bit helps. If it rises by 1% 10 times during the summer, that's 10% of capacity, which could make a huge difference. With today and Thursday's coming rain still to be projected on there, it will look even better.

EDIT: LOL WTF. Ninja'd by Sinverybad.

Will only know by tomorrow once all the water has settled.
Think will be a good jump in dam levels.

40mm in 24 Hours Centurion

 

[Blu82]

The low water bridges around the Hennops River in Centurion are closed at the moment due to flooding.

 

[Sinbad]

Early tomorrow morning looks like fun

For Centurion, last year when we had like 3 days of almost non-stop rain was pretty insane - you know, that period when the Vaal dam went from 30% to 110% within days.
