South Africa Climate

The Drakensberg range and the region’s ocean currents contribute to the varied climates found across South Africa. The interior is temperate, with sunny days and cool nights. A subtropical band extends along the east coast, while a much more Mediterranean climate is typical along the southern coast. In sharp contrast, the west coast and some parts of the interior have desert conditions. Generally, Johannesburg is regarded as having the best climate of South Africa’s urban areas.
