The 'Massive' Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread!

[Speedster]

I was on the Vaal dam this weekend and surprised at how full it was. Looking at the stats upon my return the entire vaal system is already basically at 100% and the rain hasn't even started. Anyone know when last this happened?

Also, it's going to take some significant management to keep downstream flooding risk to a minimum.

The regular reoccurrence of this thread is precursor of retail stores starting to dust of their xmas decorations

Mainly as Joburg water kept us at level 1 restrictions with the dams being full

The restrictions are due to Rand water not having enough capacity to process and pump enough water, not dam lebels.

Vaal keeps getting filled up with sewage water

It's like these guys were trying to warn us:

Vaal's a toilet. Right there in front of us all this time.

Blowing a gale here in Midrand but nothing to indicate rain is on the way yet.

probably at night, the clouds will start moving in,

I believe that wind creates a low-pressure system which in turn "pulls" the clouds in?

Sorry for the noob question, but would the clouds south-east of Gauteng, combined with a LP system result in potential rain?

Sandton seems to be covered in a cloud of dust. Could be a dust storm. Very gloomy here for 2pm with no clouds in sight.

I just got back to Lanseria from Brits. The dust is crazy even had a few drops of mud.

I'm no meteorologist, so you need for the sorry. Hope someone will answer you.
