Nelson Mandela Bay's main catchment area in the Langkloof enjoyed some excellent rain since Sunday, with 34.2 mm measured at Kareedouw and 23.4 mm measured at Joubertina up until 8 am on Monday.
Kouga Dam measured 11.5 mm.
In the Bay itself, 12.4 mm was recorded at the 3rd avenue dip in Newton Park, 15.2 mm at St Albans and 22 mm at the Van Stadens Flower Reserve.
There were also good falls elsewhere along the coast with George receiving 14.8 mm, Plettenberg Bay 29, Cape St Francis 11.4, Port Alfred 15.6 and East London 25.2.
Further inland, Bisho received a healthy 36.2 mm, Makhanda 15.6 mm and neighbouring Fort Beaufort a whopping 46.8 mm.
Meanwhile, the SA Weather Service says it is going to be cold, windy and rainy across much of the Eastern Cape through to Wednesday.
Light snowfalls can be expected along the higher peaks of the Eastern Cape later on Monday and overnight.
As the upper-air cut-off low intensifies, snowfall as much as 20-30 cm in depth should be anticipated over the eastern peaks of the Lesotho Drakensberg mountains, as well as the higher peaks of the Eastern Cape, in the Barkly East and Tiffindell areas.
A yellow level 5 warning is suggested for the disruptive snowfalls that could result in dangerous driving conditions and communities being inaccessible.
The OR Tambo District Municipality in the Eastern Cape is also on high alert for any disaster that may strike.
