There seems to be some confusion over the weather in Cape Town of late. Any number of permutations can be used - light to gale force winds from any direction you care to choose, zero to 100% chance of precipitation over the forecast area, with a possibility of snow on high ground despite it being February, cloudy to fine depending on how close you live to the mountains, etc.
It's a little embarrassing to put out my daily weather with pictures of the palm trees and the back table of Table Mountain, declaring a light southeaster, when within hours the doors are slamming, curtains are being sucked out of windows and the bougainvillea is being denuded of its colourful bracts - the lawnat home and at the neighbour is covered with bright pink confetti layer!
I think in future my forecast will be restricted to the weather at the time (around sunrise) and for the rest of the day it will be anyone's guess!
