Yesterday afternoon, on a 38°C/100°F day, we had the most glorious thunderstorm and just under 20mm of rain in less than an hour.
I have a video: will come back and add it from a different app.
It left everything bright and sparkly.
The spekboom (Portulacaria afra) is amazing.
Even if there are no buds, and it's been particularly hot and dry, it will suddenly flower. It's magic.
And, just like that, the rain and most of the clouds are gone.
Although the sun was low, and the shadows long, it was another couple of hours before the sun set.
Until next time, be well
