Will this be another Domoina? That is going to flood SA? Looks like it will make land fall on the 24 th in Moz and could bring lots of rain and possibly flooding.

[Henris]

Looks like it will eventually hit Musina.

[MarcoP]

I hope it dissipates after making landfall because i have a holiday booked at St Lucia from the 2nd Feb.

[SamM]

Looks as if she will make landfall at Beira on Saturday morning.

Looks as if she will make landfall at Beira on Saturday morning.

They predicted closer to Vilankulos and then move down to Maputo. Think Beira had their fair share of storms the last two years and it's time for a break.

The centre of the low pressure will be directly over Beira at 06h00 UTC on Saturday.

As reference : As a HAM I ran the SA Maritime Net for a number of years and I transmitted daily weather forecasts to yachtsmen sailing between Australia and the Caribbean (usually for 3 - 4 days ahead in 6 hourly slots) using Buoy Weather and Zygrib. Zygrib has proved to be extremely accurate.

I really hope she brings a lot of needed rain to limpopo.

[SamM]

Looks like some good rain in Limpopo around midnight Sunday into Monday morning.

On Monday Tuesday the prognosis for Eswatini was looking bad in terms of rain and wind. Seems like a well timed approaching frontal system is keeping it north and we will be getting moderate rain between Sunday and Tuesday.

[Rustie]

I hope it dissipates after making landfall because i have a holiday booked at St Lucia from the 2nd Feb.

Looking the charts and timelines, better plan some indoor activities.

[FantomBadger]

Looks like it will hit Beira tomorrow morning at about 4am.

[waldo_g]

Seems this has tracked further south than predicted. Our rain expected before noon. How are you guys in Limpopo and Mpumalanga holding up?

Louis Trichardt apparently 30mm of rain overnight. Currently overcast with light rain

[slodj]

Looks like Beira got battered

[Hennie loubser]

Tzaneen 70mm and still rains hard, Magobaskloof had 90mm last night and is open again after trees blocked the R71

[RoelfleRoux]

Barberton, good rain since early morning. Nothing hectic and no wind to speak of. The serious heat of the last few weeks is temporarily gone. Not aware of any damage so far. Prediction is for another 24 hours of more rain as the tip of a cold front slides in underneath the hot, moist tropical air. We hope for this to be true as plenty rain is still required in the area.
