[Heidi Van Deventer]

Dear Immo,

the ARC also have weather stations for South Africa. Contact "Gert de Nysschen" Gert at arc.agric.za for more information.

A contact I had in 2013 for the SAWS weather stations is the following:

Mr. Steven Phakula, Scientist: Prediction Research
Tel: 012 367 6271, E-mail: steven.phakula at weathersa.co.za
Website: www.weathersa.co.za ,Weatherlines: 082 162 *120*555*3#
083 123 0500

Hope this helps!
Heidi

That is an interesting website, thanks Frank!
The file you sent is pretty useful. I'll see what I can do.

Hi Immo,

I've attached a text file that I extracted from http://Meteomanz.com

You'll have to parse each line to separate the names, latitudes, longitudes, etc. I'm don't know if this is a complete list but it is something to start with.

Regards, Frank.

Good Afternoon,
Does anybody know where to get or even have the latest layer (coordinates, name etc.) with active weather stations operated by SAWS? I tried the map on their website but that map is incomplete as it does not show all the weather stations that are reported on e.g. here: https://sawx.co.za/rainfall-reenval/monthly-recorded-rainfall-data-figures-south-africa/
