Drakensberg weather sites

This is a thread to list and discuss all sites (or even phone-in numbers) that offer weather / current conditions reports for the Drakensberg. Increasingly I come across different sites that offer something, and the good old SA Weather Service has moved towards a paid subscription service. Would be nice to have all the alternatives listed, and also an ongoing evaluation of the accuracy and usefulness of various reports, also to understand where the data from these reports comes from.

So, I'll add to this myself later, but let's hear it from the rest of you!

I find I've never really been able to get accurate weather forecasts for the Berg during summer months. Once the SA Weather Service predicted no rain, and we had torrential downpours and hail at times. Another time we almost cancelled a hike as they were issuing warnings for heavy rains and flooding in the area. We took a risk, and it didnt rain a drop!! So now days I take any summer forecasts with a pinch of salt!

One good thing is that winter weather is pretty much very predictable, either its sunny blue skies, or its a cold front, which can be predicted quite accurately. One can check the Underberg forecast for temperatures, but minimum temperatures under stable winter conditions can be quite variable according to topography. It seems Underberg minimum temperatures represent the coldest temperatures which will be found in the temperature inversions in the area, so if youre not camped deep in the bottom of a flat valley, the minimum temperatures are likely to be a good couple degrees higher than Underberg.

Giants Castle weather seems to be featured on a number of sites, since there is a met station in the area. The predictions do vary though.

mountain-forecast.com (which I also stumbled into recently), is nifty in that it shows temps for 3 different altitudes. The predictions seem to be triangulated from all the surrounding met stations:
www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Giants-Castle/metar

These 3 are identical and the data format seems to be that of the SA Weather Bureau (which you now have to pay for):
www.iolweather.co.za/getforecast/102
www.shellinfosight.com/weather/SouthAfrica/KwaZulu-Natal/GiantsCastle/68589
www.yellowpages.co.za/weatherdetails.jsp?city=Giants%20Castle&forecast=true

News24 is similar to the above, but not identical...they may have their own calculations.
weather.news24.com/Forecasts.aspx?loc=SA&cityId=801235

Weather Underground seems to do its own calculations too:

This is the source for the feed listed on this site:
www.vertical-endeavour.com/news-feeds/58-drakensberg/28-giants-castle-weather.html
Nice in that is show actual, current conditions too.

An interesting one:
www.kznlive.com/KwaZulu_Natal_Weather/Kzn_weather_Giants_Castle.htm
The source is AccuWeather.com but I can't seem to get more details on Giants Castle directly on their site.

WindGuru for a custom point at Giants Castle Camp gives nice details, though the minimum temps run slightly higher than that of the SA Weather Bureau - difficult to compare though since it is so spot specific and not for the whole area (same with mountain-forecast.com).

This seems a little off:

Been very intrigued by that Norwegian weather site, and why they listed Lotheni of all places. It became even more interesting when I started punching in names into their search box. These are listings I have found so far:

Drakensberg in Free State www.yr.no/place/South_Africa/Free_State/Drakensberg/ (seems to be referring to the Great Escarpment which branches off the main Berg and heads up towards Mpumalanga)

Giants Castle: www.yr.no/place/South_Africa/KwaZulu-Natal/Giants_Castle/ (does not seem identical to any of the Giants Castle links listed earlier).

Himeville: www.yr.no/place/South_Africa/KwaZulu-Natal/Himeville/

OK, so there might be a lot more. Anyone else find any other interesting places relating to the Berg listed on this weather site, feel free to post them. I wonder if this site works in a similar way that Wind Guru does?
