Cape Town’s dam levels are double what they were in 2018. Dams supplying water to Cape Town are currently at 52.7% capacity, a welcomed contrast to last year’s very low 23%. The Theewaterskloof Dam, the province’s biggest dam, is still over 40% full, which is four times its level in 2018. 

Hydro-climatologist Piotr Wolski says it’s too soon to tell how this year’s winter rainfall will improve the water situation. “I think anything can happen. It’s possible we will have another dry or wet year. I think what’s important is to look at the range of possibilities.”
