Port Elizabeth - The Port Elizabeth office of the South African Weather Service on Wednesday said that although some welcome rain was recorded overnight in places over the Langkloof, it will do little to alleviate the Nelson Mandela Bay's ongoing water woes.

According to data from the weather office, Blue Horizon Bay, St Albans, Joubertina, Kareedouw and Cape St Francis received much of the overnight rains.
