Internet is such a beautiful thing. But it (thankfully) cannot change the weather 🙂
Some two weeks ago, before Elke came, it got cold, but didn’t rain… Then when they arrived, it got hot — actually very hot — again. Three days ago, we had 30°C, which is pretty unusual for winter, even around here 🙂
Google Now today offered this predicted weather:
So, finally it’ll rain for an extended period! Good!
The national catchment areas are at an all time low, and the one-night rain three days ago was just a tiny fraction of what’s needed to fill the water reservoirs again.
Edit: Some interesting links on the water-levels of:
- Dam levels in Cape Town
- Dam levels by Dept. of Water and Sanitation
So this weeks rain has helped restore the dam levels somewhat (to overall from 29 to 35% capacity, where 80-90% level is good).
