What is winter in Africa and what in the winter like in Africa?

Answer 1

North of the equator, Africa has winter the same time that Europe, Asia, and North America do (mid-December to mid-March). One could expect winters there to be rather mild since north Africa extends no farther north than does the state of Virginia in the United States.
South of the equator, Africa has winter the same time that much of South America and Australia do (mid-June to mid-September). Since South Africa is about as far from the equator as is the state of Georgia in the United States, one could expect that winters in the southern part of Africa to be rather mild.

Answer 2

It depends where in Africa and where in South Africa you are.
In SA it snows on the Drakensberg and in places in the Cape (like Ceres) but then there are places like where my parents live (in the East coast of Natal) where the winter average is 8 degrees Celsius. The coldest winter day there on record is only 3 degree Celsius, which is actually very nice compared to UK, Europe and US northern states.

Answer 3

I agree with the above. ALthough winter in South Africa can get very cold with snow and heavy frost.

Answer 4

It really depends on where in Africa you are. Me? I am in South Africa at the cost. My town isn't really cold in the winter, yes its cold but not that cold. We do have fantastic summers here. Jesse

Answer 5

most likely the only time when South Africans are not on the beach
