SAWDOS: The SA Weather Service's severe weather warnings for today is once again misleading and confusing to the public. The SAWS map above show no advisories, watches or warnings in effect. The summary section indicate Heavy swell for the Eastern Cape and Western Cape but if you go to the individual warnings for the Eastern and Western Cape the subject area indicate that there is a heavy swell. Now this cause confusion and is misleading. Is there a heavy swell advisory/watch/warning in effect for the Eastern Cape and Western Cape. Only the SAWS will really know. The SAWDOS can confirm that a heavy swell is currently running in the Mossel Bay area. Personally I feel that a watch should be issued. From the above it is not clear what the SA Weather Service wants to convey to the public. Eish this has happened in the past over weekends and they still cannot get this sorted. The SAWDOS is of the opinion that the public must not only rely on the SAWS for severe weather warnings.
