With mild temperatures all year round, Cape Town is an ideal holiday destination.
Spring (September to October) fills Cape Town with colour as spectacular flowers bloom. Temperatures hover between 15°C (59°F) and 17°C (63°F), reaching the mid twenties by October.
Summer (November to February) temperatures reach an average of 25°C (77°F), but can be as high as 40°C (104°F). As summer is the most popular season among tourists, beaches can be busy and accommodation can be more expensive.
Autumn (March to April) is the perfect season for hitting the beach; there are fewer tourists and temperatures are still warm, ranging between 18°C (64°F) and 20°C (68°F).
Winter (May to August) temperatures are mild, reaching an average of 17°C (63°F). Rainfall can be unpredictable during the winter months, though, so you may need a waterproof jacket. July and August see migratory whales visit the Cape, making this a prime whale watching season.
