    Rain that fell over parts of the Eastern Cape was mainly confined to the coastal belt and adjacent interior, says Garth Sampson of the South African Weather Service’s Port Elizabeth office.

    The best figure was recorded at the PE Airport, with 33mm measured.

    The catchment area measured had very little rain, with the best figure recorded at Joubertina at 5mm.
