Western Cape
It’s official, spring is here and everything is looking lovely and fresh full of anticipation to the warm summers. The weather continues to warm up and the days become longer.
The weather can however remain very changeable and one can experience all four seasons in a day.
The winds are now coming in from the SE which means sunny weather ahead, though it can feel cool if the winds are strong.
This is the peak season for Whale watching along the Southern Cape coast and is also a period of rejuvenation for not just the flora, but the fauna too. The annual Whale Festival in Hermanus is remains one of the primary calendar events of the year and early booking for accommodation is highly recommended.
The temperatures around this time of year should be warming up to the low twenties, however still remaining cooler in the evenings.
Inland areas: Northern Cape, North West, Limpopo, Gauteng & the Lowveld
This time of year is lovely to visit as it remains lovely and dry and warm during the day time with cooler evenings. Day time temperatures remain lovely and start reaching the high twenties.
Safari in the Lowveld at this time of year is amazing as it makes for great game viewing given the lack of water and thinner bush, but early mornings remain cold and the temperatures climb steadily to mid twenties during the day.
Being the peak of the dry season, and the amazing weather, the game viewing is also excellent at this time of year.
KwaZulu-Natal
This time of year is also lovely and warm and dry in KwaZulu-Natal. Protracted periods of sunshine along the coast and lovely clear days in the inland and mountains. Humidity levels will reduce at this time of year making it feel more comfortable during the night times.
Inland temperatures will be warming up again as you head up into midlands and the mountains. The early summer conditions make for some amazing weather when visiting the Ango-Zulu Battlefields , the safari parks and the Drakensberg Mountains which make them scenically very beautiful and fabulous for walking.
Average temperatures for Durban around this time of year increase to the late twenties
