Rude weather scare visitors in Cape Town

I arrived in Cape Town yesterday and got a rude awakening, the weather is weird, it’s weird because Iam not used to such unfriendly environment. The city is raining badly to the extent that hundreds of residents, most in informal settlements, had to be evacuated as heavy showers caused chaos throughout the city yesterday.


Major dailies in the city today reported that,City of Cape Town's disaster services, was swamped with calls with people seeking assistance. At least 1 000 people living in informal areas were flooded out.

The SA weather office has warned that very cold, wet and windy conditions as well as snowfalls are expected in high-lying areas today (mon) and tomorrow.
