The climate in South Africa is generally warm and dry. In the winter, the temperature rarely falls below freezing. In the summer months - December, January, and February- the temperature in the drier regions may rise above 40C. A land of great contrasts, it includes regions of extreme dryness and tremendous rainfall. The heaviest rainfall occurs along the eastern coastline. As much as 6 feet of rain may be recorded in one year in this region. In the extreme northwest part of the country, in parts of the Kalahari desert , there is virtually no rain at all.
Cape Town is located on the Atlantic coast, it is South Africa 's major seaport. It has pleasant and dry climate most of the year and beautiful beaches. The ocean water is cold and the constant winds create tremendously strong and unruly currents, causing most people not to swim in the ocean here. |
