Climate and travel weather in South Africa

According to extrareference, South Africa stretches through two climate zones – the tropical in the north and the subtropical in the south. The average temperature in South Africa therefore varies greatly, depending on when and where in the country you travel.

In the southern part of the country, where Cape Town has its location, among other places, the high season extends from October to April. It is during this period that the weather is driest. The opposite is true in the northern part of South Africa, where the peak season falls in April to October.

Travel to South Africa is therefore possible all year round. You can even easily travel to a part of the country outside the high season. Just note that in the north it rains a lot more out of season than it does in the south. In general, however, rainfall is not as heavy in South Africa.
