![]() Oaklands Inn :: Gauteng Weather South Africa stretches between the 22nd and 34th degrees of southern latitude and hence is part of the subtropical zone. Compared to other regions at that latitude, temperatures in many areas of South Africa are rather lower.
The cold Benguela current causes moderate temperatures on the West Coast, and on the central plateau, the altitude keeps the average temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius. In winter, due to the altitude, temperatures drop to the freezing point, and in places even lower.
Rain is to be expected mainly in the summer months, with the exception of the Western Cape which is a winter-rain area. For your tour planning keep in mind that the seasons in the southern hemisphere stand in direct opposition to those of the northern hemisphere. Due to the altitute of 1753m above sea-level, the climate in Johannesburg and on the Highveld is nice throughout the year. The favourable climate is one of Johannesburg’s main attractions. In summer, the days are not too hot and the nights pleasantly cool. In winter, the nights can be quite cold, even below zero, but during the day the sun shines and lets the temperatures rise up to 25 degrees. Rainfall is to be expected only in summer from October to March. Johannesburg gets an annual average of between eight and ten hours of sunshine per day. Pretoria, about 60Km north of Johannesburg, it is always two or three degrees warmer due to the lower altitude of only 1365 metres above sea-level.
