Weather
at Spier in August
Please note that
August is still winter in South Africa and while we are hoping for
warm, sunny days, the evenings are chilly and it may rain at any time.
You should therefore bring a few items of warm clothing as well as a
rainproof jacket and umbrella.
The following sites
should give you more information about the weather to expect in the
Western Cape:

says:
Cape Town weather
in winter is influenced by the movement of cold fronts and polar
depressions to the south which generate stormy gusty conditions and
gale force northerly winds. Heavy soaking rain is often a
characteristic of these conditions.
In the past our
winter season was a lot colder and wetter, but the effect of the
ongoing climatic cycle on the weather in recent years has meant that
winters have become milder, and Cape Town often experiences sunny and
pleasant winter days.

If you intend
traveling to Durban for IFLA after PM7, you will find that the climate
there is considerably warmer and more subtropical. |
