Winter in Cape Town 2011

Cape Town is very different to a lot of the cities around the world in that winter isn’t a month of snow, continual rain and awfully cold weather. If you’re told this, you’re being mislead and it’s important to have a proper understanding of what winter in Cape Town is like.

During winter temperatures average between about 10 and 18 degrees, it is very rare that the temperature drops below 10 and if it does, it’s usually at night when you’ll more than likely be near a cosy fireplace. It does rain during winter, but on average Cape Town only experiences a few days of rain in a row and we’re normally blessed with a few days of fantastic weather right afterwards. Restaurants, Villas, Guesthouses and other Cape Town accommodation spots are normally setup for the colder days, but equally equipped for the warmer days.

The last two weeks in Cape Town have been glorious, we haven’t had a drop of rain, people have been going to the beach and the general feeling is that we’re experiencing a small summer! The only difference is that the temperature has been around 22 degrees compared to around 28 during the peak of summer. Either way, it’s not cold and it’s perfect for a holiday. The advantage of this is that during the winter months there are lots of specials for accommodation in Cape Town, so be sure to contact us and ask about our winter specials.

Truth be told, the winter season should really be called something else; a more fitting name would be the ‘secret season’.
