That cold front actually dropped 54mm on us in just under 24 hours.
And so yes, that is how it’s going to work, and so I wasn’t wrong in my assessment.
Check out this weekend:
We get somewhere around 1400mm of rainfall a year in this bit of Cape Town. So to get another 100mm (give or take) over 3 days this weekend on top of the 200mm from the last two weeks would really be quite something.
And the good news is that the rainfall over the dams is above the long term average for this time of year for just the second time this decade.
At least we’re not on the Garden Route this week.
