What's the climate like in South Africa all year round?
South Africa has a warm subtropical climate all year round, and the climate varies greatly from place to place. Most areas have a tropical grassland climate, the eastern coast has a tropical monsoon climate, and the Cape Plain in the southwest has a Mediterranean climate.
The above picture shows the temperature in South Africa in each month.
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 precipitation in grassland is mainly concentrated in summer, and the annual precipitation drops from 1000mm from east to west to 60 mm.
The annual precipitation in the eastern coast is 1200mm, and it is humid and rainy in summer, belonging 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 brings 400~600 mm of rainfall in winter, accounting for 4/5 of the annual rainfall, which belongs to the Mediterranean climate.
The average annual precipitation in China is 464 mm, far below the world average of 857 mm.
