The Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread!

[TheJman]

The far south of Gauteng should get a decent soaking around now - the rest if us possibly way later this evening

Not yet...

Bethlehem Radar showing the actual storms - moving pretty much due east, Ottosdal shows clear skies, with the TAF's only predicting a 40% chance from around midnight

Correction, they've been amended for possible thunderstorms from around 17:00

Weather report "61% chance of rain at 12:00".... damn I hope I'm in that 60%!

Well it is 12:32 and no rain

I suppose you are going for the shock value = but it actually works if I do the shocking.
Not used to doing this in daylight. Think I am going to wait for night time. We don't want floods

Oh a good note - the wind has picked up. And it is from the right direction - this is looking promising. Perhaps a quicky around the garden.

It's coming from the south. Just received this:

A warning just came through for Sasolburg.

A storm is on the way with strong winds, heavy down pours as well as hail. If possible get your vehicles to safety as a precaution. Tree branches has already been ripped off. Please drive safely and switch on head lights when travelling.

Disclaimer: I repeat - I am not in the south. This has nothing to do with me. And I definitely did not dance at Gilooly's yesterday.

 

[The_Librarian]

It's hot and humid all of a sudden

/sweats

and no, it's not to do with @KT-B dancing either

besides, I have switched off the cam feeds anyway

Sasolburg is about 120km south from Gilooly's.

 

[TribbleZA]

Sasolburg is about 120km south from Gilooly's.

I know - I studied at VaalTech. Intimately familiar with the border river.

And I have not been that far south lately - so you have someone that side who also likes rain dancing.

I went home and got the bike. Just in case the rain dances don't work >.<
