Weather in Cape Town
With mild temperatures all year round, Cape Town is an ideal holiday destination.
Spring (September to October) fills Cape Town with colour as spectacular flowers bloom. Temperatures hover between 15°C (59°F) and 17°C (63°F), reaching the mid twenties by October.
Summer (November to February) temperatures reach an average of 25°C (77°F), but can be as high as 40°C (104°F). As summer is the most popular season among tourists, beaches can be busy and accommodation can be more expensive.
Autumn (March to April) is the perfect season for hitting the beach; there are fewer tourists and temperatures are still warm, ranging between 18°C (64°F) and 20°C (68°F).
Winter (May to August) temperatures are mild, reaching an average of 17°C (63°F). Rainfall can be unpredictable during the winter months, though, so you may need a waterproof jacket. July and August see migratory whales visit the Cape, making this a prime whale watching season.
