National Outlook: Cape Town Weather

The coastal city is expected to have rainy spells accompanied by slightly cooler temperatures around 14°C – a sharp deviation that makes traveling between provinces noteworthy.
This forecast reflects typical July conditions with cool to mild temperatures during the day and cold mornings and nights, predominantly sunny or partly cloudy skies, and minimal precipitation expected across South Africa on 20 July 2025. Fire danger warnings are pertinent in parts of Northern Cape and Western Cape owing to dry and windy conditions.
