The people of Cape Town have been clawing their way out of the critical drought zone in the Western Cape area. There is high praise across all social media platforms the moment we get a drop of rain, but Cape Town has experienced massive amounts of water coming down this weekend across all parts of the Western Province region and most importantly hitting the catchment zones around the well needed Theewaterskloof and surrounds (see bottom of the post updated levels of all dams).
We have found the flooding, the downpour and the damage from all sources of the internet, but if we have missed anything, feel free to inbox us your links and we’ll add it to the list.
SNOW ON TABLE MOUNTAIN:
And here we have it! Megham and Matt found the snow on Table Mountain. "Hi! Had quite a bit of snow on Table mountain about an hour and a half ago. Also had quite a lot of hail a little lower down. Didnt take more photos our hands were too cold"

Wanted to go up Table Mountain to check for snow, but impossible to climb up and cable car not running due to strong winds. Will try again tomorrow. 2 degrees on the mountain right now. Platteklip yesterday.

Cape Town: Miracle On The Rise
Cape Town stuns the world and avoids "Day Zero" through 2019, but the drought isn't over yet. Healthy winter rains and a robust water conservation effort by Capetonians have all led to this miraculous turn of events. WATCH NOW.

Snow really coming down at Matroosberg
Our new snow reporter in the Western Cape experiences the most impressive falling snow he's been in while in South Africa – in fact it almost felt like being in a North Americam winter! Richard and the team stayed up late waiting for the snow so that you could all enjoy an early morning video, but they were not expecting it to come down so heavily around the cottages at Matroosberg Private Nature Reserve near Ceres.

Snow at High Noon and surrounds. Still raining as well. TWK dam should reach 50% in 2 weeks. Come with your 4X4's to Kroonland 4X4 and experience the snow in Villiersdorp. Awesome waterfalls as well.
