About Cape Town Weather
Cape Town has arguably the world's most dramatic urban microclimate geography — Table Mountain (3,558 ft) creates a massive orographic barrier that splits weather systems in two, leaving opposite sides of the city in entirely different conditions simultaneously. The Cape Doctor, a strong southeasterly summer wind, scours the city center while sheltered suburbs on the Atlantic side stay calm. Mediterranean climate means warm, dry summers (70–85°F) and cool, wet winters (50–65°F) when Atlantic fronts deliver heavy rainfall.
