CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE 

Lying between the Indian and Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town enjoys mild winters and pleasant summers. Summer temperatures from December to February range from around 15 to 27 degrees Celsius (60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit), whilst in the winter months of June to August average temperatures are between 7 to 20 degrees Celsius (45 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit).

One of the Cape's most characteristic phenomena is the famous ‘Cape Doctor’, a southeasterly wind that buffets the Cape and lays Table Mountain's famous 'tablecloth' (a layer of cloud that covers the City Bowl). It can be a welcome breeze in summer, but it can also be a wild gale, particularly in spring. When it really blows you know you're clinging to a peninsula at the southern end of Africa, and there's nothing between you and Antarctica.
