When it comes to Grahamstown weather, there is nothing that can be said to prepare you for it's craziness, it seems to follow the craziness of the people that live here.
Yesterday saw a tragic event occur here in G-Town, something unheard of, a mini-tornado hit the community, smashing scores of houses and leaving some people injured, all this happening while students on campus were being battered with golf balls for hail stones! It really was a weird event, something that doesn't happen in this country.
However what really makes it so crazy weird, is that not an hour before the hailstorm and tornado hit, the G-town sun was blazing at full temperature and I was walking around in shorts and a T-Shirt, and to add to this the sun came out again for a beautiful afternoon, just for us to be hit with waterfall's worth of rain in the evening. It was a Wednesday and most people were keen to go out, and after the rain, it became pretty mild and seemed like it was going to be a decent evening, however, that is when the winds came up, blowing up not only skirts, but the hopes many had to go out that night...
This was the epitome of a true Grahamstown day in terms of weather, we literally experienced every season in one day... There is nothing to prepare you for the weather in this town, unless you leave in the morning with a backpack full of raincoats, jerseys and a change of pants, you cannot be prepared... You will either be too hot or too cold...
Ha ha, seems like a bleak picture, but it really isn't, it just adds to the super-crazy-psycho-coolness that is living in Grahamstown!
Much Love
