In what climatic zone is Cape Town located?

Answer 1

Cape Town is located at the coast and has the moderating influences of the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain.

It is categorized as a "Mediterranean" climate, with moderate to hot summers (September through March) and winter rainfall.

Rain (May through September) is mostly in the form of frontal systems which originate in the south west Atlantic and move eastwards over the southern portions of the African mainland during the winter months.

Temperatures over the summer months are normally in the high 20 to mid 30's (Cecilius) and can peak in the low 40's on occasion. Areas slightly north and north east of Cape Town can experience temperatures in the mid 30 to mid 40 degree range during the same period.

Winter temperatures are in the 12 to 18 degree range, very seldom below this. Cape Town does not normally experience frost or snow, although frost is recorded on the very odd occasion and light snow falls on the high lying areas of Table Mountain.
