Temperature Controls in Cape Town, South Africa

South Africa has three capital cities which include Cape Town, Bloemfontein, and Pretoria. Pretoria is the administrative capital and sometimes referred to as the de facto national capital. Cape Town is the legislative capital and also where the seat of parliament is. Lastly, Bloemfontein is the judicial capital with the Supreme Court of Appeal. It is a free state and is in the middle of South Africa. Since I am using Cape Town for the capital city covered in this blog it is located at 33.953° S, 18.4239°E.

Cape Town is the second most populated city in South Africa with a population of 3,740,026 in 2011. It is also known as the " Mother City" due to it being the first European settlement in the countey. The warmest month here is February with an average temperature of 23°C (73°F). The coldest month is in June with temperatures around 13°C (55°F). Based on this information the annual range f temperature for Cape Town is 18°F. I have found the temperature information at http://www.holiday-weather.com/cape_town/averages.

In the future the temperature may become a little more extreme due to global warming and the rising of the seas. The fact that there will be more water around and differential heating will affect how the winds blow through the city and the the coastal areas.
