Rain in Centurion.

Rain and thunder, Orange Grove. And Sebenza substation has gone down so unplanned blackout. And scheduled load-shedding from 22h00.

Freaking gutter overflowing and leaking through the roof sigh

Finally, a decent storm. Good for the gardens and Jo-Jo tanks. Now for the catchment areas.

That sucks

 

[Segg]

Finally some rain!

Unfortunately I'm blind as the radar seems to have gone offline since around 16:00, but whatever! I'm enjoying the rain

EDIT: According to the TAF it looks like we can expect rain until around 08:00 tomorrow morning, then continuing again from around 12

From what I can see on the satellite image, this looks about right

 

[RonSwanson]

We had just over 10mm of hail and rain in Midrand during the past hour, now continuing softly.

Nice what is that?
Yeah as I've said the one gutter by my passage is actually pushing water through the roof sigh.

Raining steadily here as well. Pity the SAWS radar feeds are all down which includes their storm tracker service.

Did it come with a proper rain meter? I know the older ones had some issue with the bucket or something
