There is a common misconception that South Africa's highest recorded temperature was 42 degrees celsius, and this is attributed to places as varied as Cradock, Kimberly and Upington. This figure is, however, totally untrue, South Africa has MANY places that regularly record temperatures over 40 degrees (105 Degrees F), and some areas report records far higher than this.

Even Cape Town, which has a Mediterranean Climate (i.e. relatively mild. Other areas displaying this climate include coastal California, most Mediterranean countries, SW Australia etc) recorded a high of 42 degrees C in March 2009. Durban has also recorded 42C one September. Even Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, usually a fairly mild area, reached 42C in 1999, and Cradock in the ECape records 40s often. Messina, Mafikeng, Kimberly etc etc often do as well.

Upington, in the Northern Cape, often has the Countries highest temperature (and is one of the 5 sunniest cities on Earth) with 40s very regular indeed in Summer, and a January high of 46 officially recorded (as per meteorological standards. i.e. In Shade, 1m above ground and shielded from winds etc).

The North Eastern Areas of Limpopo or Mpumalanga are especially warm. Even in Winter, the Lowveld (i.e. The NE areas) has average daily highs which hover between 25C and 30C, and frequently reach more than 32 degrees C (90F). In Summer these areas are frequently over 40 degrees C (often for several days per week), and feel especially warm due to high humidity. There are anecdotal reports of 52C from Komatipoort in November of 2006.

However, the official record for the highest temperatures in South Africa belong to the Richtersveld National Park - Northern Cape (bordering with Namibia). This park has recorded an official (meteorological) high temperature of 53 Degrees Celsius (127.4 Fahrenheit), making it one of the hottest areas on the planet. It is also one of the driest, receiving less than 2 inches of rain per year (usually one day of rain per year).
