How many days of sunshine does South Africa have?

Answer 1

It depends on where you are, because South Africa is not a small country. In the east, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, the climate is subtropic with hot and humid summers; in the Highveld with its vast grasslands the summer rains are less; and in the Western Cape it rains in winter and the climate is like that in the Mediterranean region. The Karoo is a dry and arid semi-desert, while the Kalahari is a desert. On average South Africa is a dry country and sunshine is the norm, but one cannot actually answer the question because of the diversity of the landscape.
