The 'Massive' Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread!

So I assume you don't have any ceilings in your house..... not sure what use a clear tile is if your ceiling still blocks the light

How do you imagine a skylight works? Of course you have to build a light box or use light tubes to let the light through.

For a big house.

I guess, but do you use that all the time, most households could probably get away with 8

Either way, using something as simple a tile replacement is much easier to take advantage of and create the light well between the room and the roof through the ceiling.

Had a look at the rain meter 48mm in the past two days in Doringkloof. Hoping for some more, I have put some fertilizer down on the lawn this afternoon.

Looks like another set of storms approaching from the W/NW.

Meh.

Got woken by a super loud thunderclap.

Tempers fuggit.

In the almost 4 years I've lived here, pool has never been this full so early.

Freaking hell, seems I've now developed a leak in my study. Cause the winds must've shifted tiles

Anything headed Pretoria side today still?

It doesn't look like it for the next few days.... But very possibly again from Thursday into next weekend

The storm system we've experienced this past week has been moving up and down between the green lines I've drawn in, and looks like it will dissipate over the next day or two before reforming later in the week



What I really love about this kind of weather, is how vast the "system" actually is!

You can see the thunderstorms forming around south Mauritania, moving across into central Africa, poking into Saudi Arabia, then on the far south corner its us

Coming from the W/SW this time. There's some action just south of the Gunteng/FS border region now. Hopefully comes north and doesn't miss by slipping past to the east.

Big storm with plenty of lightning and thunder in Heidelberg
