Couple of drops in Garsfontein. Not even enough to connect the dots.

And a **** ton of wind, holy crap

 

[Whright]

Heavy winds here in 4ways, garden chairs and cushions blown all over the lawn…. We will rebuild.

My sister said they had 60mm in one hour in Hendrina and also lots of hail.

 

[Neuk_]

A few drops in Parkhurst, not enough to even register on my weather station.

 

[deesef]

We just had a MASSIVE storm in the east of Pretoria

Anyone with insider meteorological info? Rain predicted for the foreseeable future?

 

[Arzy]

Nothing today, maybe some activity from tomorrow evening

Definitely this coming week. Hoping it beats the storm that did this in 2020.

Some nice instability in the air around SA at the moment, but the high over GP is very stubborn this year!

 

[The_Librarian]

It is the fault of the politicians and their hot air!

It's going to be one of those weeks for me....

Before my first cup of coffee this morning one of my crew send the following updates

Good morning
ETD Grand Central 0710
ETA Nelspruit 0810

Then

Delays into Kruger with lots of traffic and the weather. I have been put into a hold at 07:45 overhead Belfast

Expecting a 15-20 minute hold.

Then

Now cleared direct to Kruger at 07:53

Expecting a couple of holds at Kruger before I can fly the approach.

Then

We have 6 aircraft inbound to Kruger at the moment and a couple of departures as well. Combined with the weather it’s causing delays.

Finally the aircraft landed at 08:30.

Weather is definitely moving in.

But good to hear he have landed without incident... and that everybody else also landed safely.

The TAF's have been amended for possible storms from 17:00 and I'm liking what I see on the satellite image this morning!

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Why though?

No work no pay not applicable to weather.
