What's the geographical weather like in South Africa?

Most of South Africa is located in the subtropical high zone and belongs to the savanna climate. October to February is summer, and June to August is winter. The Drakensberg Mountains block the moist airflow in the Indian Ocean, so the drier it gets to the west, the more obvious the continental climate becomes. There is little rain in autumn and winter, and the yellow grassland precipitation is mainly concentrated in summer, and the annual precipitation decreases from east to west from 1, 000mm to 60 mm.

The annual precipitation along the eastern coast is 1, 200mm, which is humid and rainy in summer and belongs to subtropical monsoon climate. The southern coast and the windward slope of the Drakens Mountains have precipitation all year round, with high humidity and a maritime climate. In the southwest corner of Agus, the southwest wind blows in winter, bringing 400~600 mm of rainfall, accounting for 4/5 of the annual rainfall, belonging to the Mediterranean climate. The average annual precipitation in China is 464 mm, far below the world average of 857 mm.

The temperature in South Africa is relatively lower than other countries in the southern hemisphere with the same latitude, but the annual average temperature is still above zero, generally at 12~23 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference is not big. However, the disparity of height difference caused the vertical change of temperature. In addition, the Benguela cold current flowing through the western coast and the Mozambique warm current flowing through the eastern coast form the longitude difference of temperature. In winter, the temperature in the inland plateau is low. Although there is no regular snow, frost is very common.

The average sunshine time in South Africa is 7.5~9.5 hours, especially in April and May, so it is known as "the country of the sun".
