Weather and Climate in South Africa

South Africa Weather and South Africa Climate – General Overview of Climate and Weather Conditions in South Africa; The best time to travel
South Africa generally experiences temperate climatic conditions. This is due in part to its strategic location surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans on three sides. Much as the country is classified as semi-arid, there is significant variation in climate due to its diverse geography and oceanic influence. Climatic zones range from extreme desert of the southern Namib in the farthest northwest to the lush subtropical climate in the east along the Mozambique border and the Indian Ocean. Sutherland in the western Roggeveld Mountains is coldest in South Africa, where midwinter temperatures get as low as −15 °C.
When to Go
In South Africa, the period between November and March is the hottest and busiest time.  It is also the UK winter season. This is therefore the busiest and best period for both the local and foreign tourists visiting the country.  The months of July and August which is also the summer season in the UK is a much less busy travel period. The temperatures are cooler.
It is mainly sunny and warm between July and August in South Africa although not too hot. This is best period for most South Africa Holiday related activities in the country. It is also the time when most international South Africa flights are more competitive.
