Right. Time to revive this thread. I'm getting messages of rain coming this weekend. I'm looking forward to it but not looking forward to hail which the first few storms usually bring.

currently over Soweto, moving East to North-East towards O R Tambo.

the red shading indicates that it severe, and the last time I saw these colours was the hail storm over Edenvale/Germiston/Alberton last year





Thanks for the update. Guess it's time to get the cabbie under some shelter

Mossel Bay is known for having very temperate weather. So no sudden changes to worry about.

Half an hour away in George, however, you need to prepare for all 4 seasons in one day :)

That coastline does not usually suffer from heavy hail. Rainy season is during winter and sometimes long periods of rainfall can occur in Spring, but thunderstorms are not common there.

There's a bit of activity. Cell over Joburg looks like it's moving south-east. Amber shading indicates heavy rain. More cells to the west also moving east but not sure what they will bring.

Bring on the rain :thumbs:

Go caught in big hail storm last night where you from from the N12 onto the N1 by Aeroton. I can't believe how inconsiderate and stupid some people are. They parked under the bridge across the freeway so that it actually stopped all traffic flow.......... How can that be allowed? I was sat behind these idiots for a good 15 minutes while the hail pummeled my car. 5 minutes down the road just before Gordon Road there was not even a spot of rain.

I've been caught in a situation like this before. It's incredibly dangerous. People on the roads have no brains sometimes.

Maybe your neighbour is about to fart.

Other than that, nothing major on the radar.
