Wet Wintery Weather for KZN this week by Adam in Durban KZN
Wet Wintery Weather for KZN this week by Adam in Durban KZN: Snow on the mountains again! Bringing a chill to the air as it breezes in from the south west.
Over to Adam on the spot in Durban…
Thank you Adam Kamdar of Township Hyper. Check out their Black November promotions right HERE.
Synoptic
There is a strong high pressure coming right in behind the current set of low pressures – that are causing the current wet and cold conditions over southern Africa. This high looks to be big enough to bring some sunny skies to the Cape areas as the week unfolds. As for us here in KZN and the Eastern Cape, we have these low pressures sitting right over us at the moment. And we are counting on that same high pressure moving across to us and bringing us some sunny skies too.
Expect the cold and the wet for a few more days in KZN and EC though.
Surfing
This is has been a remarkable run of waves for Durban and the rest of KZN. For about a month now the waves have been rideable, if not cooking!

Wet wintery weather for KZN does not stop the surfers and kayakers
Today is another cool day to be a surfer. And not just in Durban. Up and down the coast, before the wind gets up too much, you will find some waves to be a part of.
Fishing
The tides are moving away from spring tides, and the sea should settle nicely as the low pressure moves along. Shad season opens in three weeks.
The Bear of The Master Watermen website delivers his weekly report on Tuesdays and Fridays each week. Looking forward to today’s instalment. Once we’ve all seen that we will all know exactly what fish to be targeting.
Sardines and Sighting Maps
It has been a fantastic sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 191,000 times and just keeps growing.
Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado! And recently a capsized KZNSB boat! We have been updating the map with recent catches too…
These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.
Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for a windy day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
