Durban Storm

in nature •  7 years ago 

The city of Durban woke up to a not so pleasant weather as heavy rain and floods took over the city from the early morning leaving 3 dead.

The heavy rain was caused by a cut off low pressure cell which later moved into the ocean. The rain over KwaZulu-Natal was caused by a upper air cut-off low, characterized by a cold core. These systems originate in the mid-latitudes, well away from tropical areas.

Cut-off lows are very common natural in South Africa and occur at anytime of the year bringing with it heavy rain mostly affecting the KwaZulu-Natal province.
