When May arrived nobody would have thought that we would be having such heavy rains. In three days last week, I measured more rain than we had in the first three months of 2022 on three separate occasions! Our total for the month was 171mm, the second highest for May in the 24 years that I have been measuring rainfall in Hermanus.
It was enough to open the Bot River lagoon, making for a pretty spectacular sight!
We went for a drive to see the effects of the storm and were amazed at the waterfalls everywhere. The Mossel River was flowing strongly, and it was amazing to see how the Bot River has subsided and the way in which the course of the stream has opened up.
