Autumn has arrived with the first good rain of the season. The block of flats I live in leaks like a sieve and so we run with towels and buckets to catch all the water coming through the walls and ceiling! We don’t complain too loudly as the rents are absurdly low and so we put up with all the drips. The weather has become cooler now as the first hint of winter peeks around the corner. Already snow has been reported on some mountains to the south west of our city. I predict that the winter this year will be colder than last year as it seems that each winter gets colder and summer hotter!

Squalls come through every hour so when you just think the rain is over the next one arrives catching you off guard. The sun is out but to the north of the city it is pelting down. Each part of the city gets it’s own share of the rain at different times. Now the dams will fill up again as with the drought we’ve had they have been getting depleted.
raining today
We lie in the southern part of South Africa and in between two demographics so we tend to get some summer rainfall which is mostly from the northern subtropical region of Kwazulu-Natal and the winter rainfall of the Western Cape which lies to the west of Port Elizabeth, my city.
