If you think Cape Town is hot, try driving up the N7 for a few hours, then you'll see what hot really is!
Cape Town has a really mild climate. It was downright chilly a month ago...

El Niño is the warming of sea-surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean which influences atmospheric circulation, and consequently rainfall and temperature in specific areas around the world.
El Niño is translated from Spanish as "the boy child". Peruvian anchovy fishermen traditionally used the term - a reference to the Christ child - to describe the appearance of a warm ocean current off the South American coast around Christmas. Over the years the term El Niño has come to be reserved for the sequence of changes in the circulation across the Pacific Ocean and Indonesian archipelago when warming is particularly strong. Approximately 14 El Niño events affected the world between 1950 and 2003. Amongst them was the 1997/98 event, by many measures the strongest thus far this century, although South Africa escaped the impact of it to some extend.

South Africa is usually a hot country. However at the moment we are having a "heat wave"as well. This apparently is caused my "El Nino" the weather pattern that is also responsible for the extremely harsh winter that Europe and U.S are having at the moment.
I am extremely glad you are enjoying our beautiful country!!

It's awesome isn't it. Cape Town relatively mild compared to places like Upington, and areas in Limpopo province! Try that sometime! And yes, it's an amazing country!

Welcome! Well then you should never ever go near the Limpopo Province during December, it is as hot as hell! but then again every place has its own climate. Enjoy you visit
