Van die grootste damme in die Wes-Kaap se watervlakke is aansienlik laer as in die ooreenstemmende tyd verlede jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die provinsiale gemiddelde het die afgelope week van 52% tot 51,6% gedaal. Dit was di\u00e9 tyd verlede jaar 53,1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die watervlak van die Theewaterskloofdam, die grootste opgaardam in die Wes-Kaap, het die afgelope week van 67,9% tot 66,3% gedaal en was 80% \u2019n jaar gelede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens voorspel geen re\u00ebn verder vir vandag (Donderdag 26 Mei) nie, maar ligte buie kan wel Saterdag en Sondag verwag word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die plaaslike landbougemeenskap meen dat die winterre\u00ebn vanjaar later as gewoonlik is en temperature bly warmer as gewoonlik. Vir vrugteboere is dit nie goeie nuus nie, want vrugtebome soek nou koue temperature om in \u201crus\u201d te gaan vir die winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paarl het in April 2021 net 10 mm re\u00ebn gekry en vanjaar ook 10 mm. In Mei 2021 het die omgewing baie goeie neerslae \u2013 157 mm \u2013 gekry, maar tot dusver het Mei vanjaar nog net 17,5 mm opgelewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die watervlak van ander damme wat water plaaslik verskaf, is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Vo\u00eblvleidam: 56,9% (61,85%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bergrivierdam: 66,9% (83,59%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wemmershoekdam: 50,5% (63,23%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
