Anyone who knows Kimberley will understand why the rainfall was the only bit of news worth passing on.

Brett Hendey Offline Senior Member Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 754	Paul February in Kimberley is notable for being the height of the rainy season. The average rainfall for the month is 75 mm (3"), so, when it does rain there, it is worth reporting. Kimberley must have been exciting during the Siege, but it was probably a lot less so in 1904.
