Hi Scouter,

We should have had more than 50mm two nights ago, will try and confirm Twee Rivieren is wet.

KG do you know if Nossob side also got the rain??? Hope there's plenty more - friends just arrived back from 2 weeks in KTP and first time in 3 years no rain during their stay in Jan!!

I see that Accuweather are predicting 31mm for TR tomorrow (Tues). Will be interesting to see how much actally falls.

Looking at the web cam it looks like there are a few dark clouds around at Nossob.

20 days till arrival at TR. I cant wait.

Weather forcast says 38 for Upington, but 30% chance of rain as well

yr.no website predicts rain every day for the next week at Nossob.

And you trust the weatherman..........

NO rain even in sight, just got back from Mata-Mata and it is a hot one today

Better chance today ?

Ndloti, nice picture love the colours..

It has been overcats today BUT the sun seems to be breaking through.

Hi Jannie

I see on the webcam it is very wet around Nossob. Any rainfall figures available? I presume it was yesterday evening (Wednesday 1 Feb).

Morning All, from a wet Kgalagadi.


It has been raining since yesterday afternoon; it’s been n light drizzle the whole night. I just came back from samevloeiing and it looks good. At last it seems that our rains are here.

The park will indeed be very green in a week’s time after this rain. I have asked the section rangers for the rainfall during January 2012 in their areas as soon as i receive it i will post it

Have a great one

Just an update from a field ranger at Nossob.

Nossob about 55mm
Dikbaardskolk 85mm

KG How does this compare to last year? It will be interesting to see the level of the grass in May compared to the last few years with this years lesser (or later) rainfall

Hi there Gavin,

Up to date, we had much more rain last year than where we currently are.

One of the highlights of visiting KTP this time of the year is the beautiful cloud formations and wide open spaces.The very same clouds sometimes turn into a rolling mass of black and the lightning that follows leave me in awe.There's no place like KTP to experience this and after the storm the smell of freshness and wet soil is overwhelming to your senses.We all know that after the blessed rains every plant and blade of grass turn to a lush green.Man I love this place.

Hi there,

You guys should see it now.....there is water everywhere (still raining by the way). I will go out a bit later and take some pics at samevloeiing to show you.
