A Brief Overview of Cape Town's Weather

Our 5 day Cape Town Weather Forecast is updated every hour. Visitors looking for accommodation in Cape Town often want to know what to pack. It is quite possible to have 4 seasons in a day in Cape Town; and Cape Town’s weather can also be unpredictable. The incredible geography of this area also contributes to the complexity of the weather. Our forecast gives you up-to-date information on the weather in Cape Town for the next 5 days.

There is a cold ocean next to the vast Table Mountain in the City. Just a few kilometres away, the residents of Hermanus have to contend with completely different weather patterns than the residents of Stellenbosch or Cape Town.

Generally , the best warm weather months in Cape Town are between November and April. Late February through March also offer sublime conditions, and the city is often less chaotic and more relaxing during this time

Winter in Cape Town seems to occur from mid-May to mid-September, and these months are generally cold and wet. The winds can be quite strong too. Even so, some winter days are just incredible - and better than some European summer days. Winter days are best spent touring wine estates, visiting museums, and, of course, shopping at the V&A Waterfont or Canal Walk.

Be Prepared!

Cape Town's weather can change dramatically. Layering clothing works well. Keeping a sweater or a jumper in the car is a great idea – even in Summer. Always keep sunscreen nearby in Summer.  Umbrella’s only work in windless wet conditions – and there are not many of those in Cape Town in winter - so parkas, raincoats and "hoodies" work best.
