Taliesin, Plantation Island, Thesen, Knysna, South Africa.
CLIMATE
The Garden Route has a Mediterranean Maritime climate, with moderately hot summers, and mild to fresh winters. It is one of the richest rainfall areas in South Africa. Most of the rains occur in the winter months, brought on by the humid sea-winds from the Indian Ocean. The Garden Route's temperate weather falls between two climatic regions of summer and winter rainfall so it rains mostly at night which keeps the area perennially green.
Spring:
You can feel spring in the air by the end of August and into September. October can be quite mixed because just when you think summer has arrived, another cold front moves in.
Summer:
The months of November to March are hot, with December to February providing very pleasant warm weather.
Temperature: Day Average: 24-30ºC. Night Average: 14ºC
Rainfall: Average: 75 mm per month
Autumn:
Temperatures start cooling down from about April but it can still be very pleasant until June.
Winter:
June, July and August are the peak winter months but the climate is favourable with clear and warm days, but it gets cold in the evening.
Temperature: Day Average: 19ºC Night Average: 10ºC
Rainfall: Average: 71 mm per month
Whatever the season, Knysna stays green. Its warm, temperate climate makes it the perfect all-year-round destination.
