How rain works in this part of the country
Rain on this coast is summer-dominant, fed by warm, humid air off the Agulhas Current running down the shore — which is why downpours here are heavy rather than gentle. The coast's worst flooding, though, has come from cut-off lows, a slow-moving upper-air system that can park over KwaZulu-Natal for days and is most common in autumn and spring, outside the normal storm season.
