Not even 1mm, can't be classed as rain.

Does anyone know if the rainfall data within Kruger is published online and if so, where?

One would probably only get Skukuza online, Dzombs....and then follow neighbouring towns like Komatipoort, Malelane, Hoedspruit, Phalaborwa and Thohoyandou! \O

Ah, ok.

I asked my friend Google. There is a detailed monthly spreadsheet on the SANP website of the rainfall at various locations throughout the park. But bit appears to be pulished a month or two later.
I was wandering if there is something more current.

I also tried to Google it, butdid not find anything precise. Maybe the best way to do it, is the way that RP proposed :yes:

You can try this, I see it has a 24hr and a monthly rainfall.

I do not think that is what Dzombo wants....

Dzombo wants forecasts for Kruger as far as I have understood. Kruger covering such a large area and with a limited interest from the public, the only way is to choose the towns on the borders of Kruger and look them up one by one like this:

Etc. etc.

Lis, thanks for the links.
But I am interested in recent histroical rainfall

So for eg. I saw on my phone app that rain was forecast for Skukuza (the only location in Kruger that I could find on the app)
I am keen to see where rain actually fell, and if so, how much.
