Medium I'd say. Seems to have abated, just a quick one.

I stand corrected, it's back again, lol. Smaller this time.

somebody has gotten "duff" gen somewhere
I have also seen it on the internet

the Terminal Area forecast for O R Tambo is

TAF FAOR 021000Z 0212/0318 35007KT CAVOK
BECMG 0308/0310 28020KT
BECMG 0314/0316 21020KT
TX17/0212ZTN05/0304Z=
TAF FAWK 021320Z 0210/0218 34003KT CAVOK

meaning that the winds will be from 280deg to 210deg later at a Max of 20Kts (+/-37km/h), thats a mild breeze in my books

winds of over 40kts are common place in Gauteng in August

at this stage nothing for Gauteng

A nice storm has emerged in the Standerton area

and Standerton being part of the Vaal catchment area, is a good thing as far as Vaal Dam levels are concerned

Great to see some activity in this thread, that can only be a good thing given the droughts.

Thanks Sir Ralf, for all your efforts.

Eish. Our roof was opened up today to have the one geyser removed. I told the guys to hurry up as there's a chance of rain. They just looked at me funny; thanks for making me look stupid Ralph!
