South Africa is one of the world’s drier countries, with huge regional
variations: Has an average rainfall of roughly 460 millimetres per
annum.

The eastern regions are much wetter than the western, some
areas recording less than 50 millimetres a year. Average annual
temperatures are more constant, though temperatures vary, sometimes
dramatically, from place to place. They are least at the coast and
greatest on the interior plateau, where winter nights are bitterly cold
and the days pleasantly sunny.

The country receives between 7.5 and 9.4 hours of sunshine a day
compared with London’s 3.8 and Rome’s 6.4.
