June weather forecast
South Africa

June initiates the winter season in South Africa, with temperatures dropping significantly, especially in the interior regions. Cities like Johannesburg and Pretoria experience colder conditions with average temperatures oscillating between 4°C (39.2°F) to 18°C (64.4°F). The coastal cities of Cape Town and Durban retain milder conditions due to the moderating influence of the sea, with temperatures varying from 8°C (46.4°F) to 20°C (68°F).

June also brings about a clear shift in rainfall patterns. Johannesburg, located in the Highveld, observes a further decrease in rainfall to an average of approximately 10mm (0.39"), reinforcing the dry winter season. In contrast, the Western Cape, governed by its Mediterranean climate, sees its peak winter rainfall with an average precipitation of 100mm (3.94").

When comparing June to May, the transition from autumn to winter is clear with temperatures falling further and rainfall continuing its regional divergence. This trend extends into July, with inland regions getting colder and drier, while the Western Cape experiences cooler temperatures and increased rainfall.

June's colder, drier weather in most of the country offers excellent conditions for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to congregate around the few remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. However, the Western Cape, with its wetter climate, presents a different appeal with lush, green landscapes and a myriad of indoor attractions to explore.
