Speaker 1: Well, you heard doctor Nex MacLean. They're saying it's a
Speaker 1: day for adventure, and if it's a day for adventure
Speaker 1: for you, then let's find out what Jeff Aleff is
Speaker 1: up to. Thanks Amy, good morning. Strong rains predicted to
Speaker 1: continue in k Jon with a high of just fifteen
Speaker 1: degrees celsius today, strong winds from the north northwest, and
Speaker 1: last night the South African Weather Service issued a yellow
Speaker 1: level one warning for disruptive rainfall that'll push through until
Speaker 1: this evening, posing some potential risks again of localized flooding.
Speaker 1: And that's especially considering the very saturated soul conditions from
Speaker 1: the frontal system that hit Cape Chwan earlier. And you
Speaker 1: asked to remain vigilant in light of a rising need
Speaker 1: for humanitarian assistance. The city is collaborating with a network
Speaker 1: of non governmental organizations or NGOs to continue outreach efforts
Speaker 1: and those includes provision of hot meals, blankets, personal hygiene
Speaker 1: packs to those affected in the adverse weather conditions. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: showing signs of starting to clear with the wind swinging
Speaker 1: to the southeastern, it will be getting a few degrees warmer,
Speaker 1: but keep in mind those people who are going to
Speaker 1: be really struggling in these conditions Peninsua around us. The
Speaker 1: hike scheduled for today, I'm not sure whether it's going
Speaker 1: to happen due to the rain, but it's the Myburg
Speaker 1: Ravines two waterfalls, meeting at nine am at Farrier's Way
Speaker 1: in hout Bay. But if you wanted to find out,
Speaker 1: you can send a watchapp to Les Watson eight four
Speaker 1: eight five six one seven four to two eight four
Speaker 1: eight five six one seven four to two. The hike
Speaker 1: foot to morrow is Corridor Ravine meeting at eight o'clock
Speaker 1: in Teresa Avenue. It's going to be along the pipe
Speaker 1: track up Corridor Ravine backdown Woody Ravine. A very strenuous
Speaker 1: five to six hour day out. Speaking of hiking, just
Speaker 1: a word from sand Parks. They are reopening some of
Speaker 1: the trails in the Tokai and Silver Mine. It's going
Speaker 1: to be happening in phases from July. The first following,
Speaker 1: of course, the big fires that affected nearly two and
Speaker 1: an and attacts. So silver Mine Gate two located on
Speaker 1: the eastern side of okpp Zebek and that includes the waterfall,
Speaker 1: Colkbow Trails, Echo and Space Bona Valleys, Boys Drive and
Speaker 1: Steenberg Plateau trails. Those will be reopening on the first
Speaker 1: of July. Likewise, Upper Tokai will reopen on the same day,
Speaker 1: excluding levels four and five, which will stay closed due
Speaker 1: to unstable terrain during the raining season. Silver Mine at
Speaker 1: Gate one on the western side of Okoppszebek and that
Speaker 1: includes the popular silver Mine Dam, the Elephant's Eye Trail
Speaker 1: and the silver Mine Riverwalk. Those will stay closed and
Speaker 1: the targeted reopening of those trails is September of this year,
Speaker 1: while the silver Mine Dam and Riverwalker are expected to
Speaker 1: only reopen in December of this year, pending some ongoing
Speaker 1: structural restorations. Sand Parks would also like to thank the
Speaker 1: Honoree Rangers as well as the Kai Mountain Bikers for
Speaker 1: their continued support in the rehabilitation areas and once again
Speaker 1: that appeal. Although some trails may appear unaffected visually, access
Speaker 1: has been managed to ensure user safety and support the
Speaker 1: ecological restoration. So there we have it. Given the inclement
Speaker 1: flooding in lower to Kai and request from partners, the
Speaker 1: organizers have also canceled today's visible safety patrol hike in Tokai,
Speaker 1: so if you're planning on going on that hike in
Speaker 1: Tokay today, the Visible Safety Patrol hike, please be advised
Speaker 1: that has been canceled. That's where I'm going to leave
Speaker 1: it for today. We'll be back tomorrow. Keep yourselves warm,
Speaker 1: keep yourselves dry, and as I said, spare a thought
Speaker 1: for those who are really struggling in some of the
Speaker 1: areas because of the suriin So until tomorrow, yes, for now,
