💨 Abstract

Recent heavy rainfall in Cape Town has led to flooding in low-lying areas, including those below mountains and near water bodies. The City of Cape Town is monitoring the situation, with canals, vleis, and retention ponds reaching capacity. The storm is expected to last until Sunday, 29 June, bringing cold temperatures, potential snowfall, and strong winds. The heavy downpours are causing water to back up onto roads, leading to localized flooding.
