34mm Heidelberg - Kruisrivier Ars · Highest
These ten weather stations had the wettest single days this week. Each bar shows one day of rain, not the whole week.
Method and sources
Each bar is the highest 24-hour total that station reported in the seven days to the date shown, from the South African Weather Service daily rainfall bulletin. Readings cover the 24 hours ending at 08:00. Stations are ranked by that maximum, so two bars can come from different days. Only Western Cape stations are shown.
