Daily Weather in Cape Town

My 3-day forecast for Cape Town will cover 4/5, 4/6, and 4/7. The forecasted highs for these dates in order are 72 degrees Fahrenheit, 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and 83 degrees Fahrenheit. The forecasted lows for these dates in order are 56 degrees Fahrenheit, 54 degrees Fahrenheit, and 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Over these three days the precipitation percentage was zero. The city was nice and sunny, barely a cloud in the sky. The average pressure was about 29 in. and it stayed pretty much the same over the three day period. The average wind speed over this time was about 10-25 mph and it increased a little as well.


As depicted in the image above we can see that there are clouds and they are close, just right off of the coastline but barely any over land. Also, all the clouds shown here are low, warm clouds not any cold clouds in sight. During the time of this image there was no precipitation observed.


Looking at the same map closer and without the cloud coverage and other things we can find out the lay of the land. Most of Cape Town is city area however, there are a lot of forested or park areas as indicated by the green spots. All the textured areas show mountain areas which there are a lot of which means multiple good hiking spots and places to discover. In addition to all of this, there are a multitude of small rivers and lakes scattered around.

While looking at this map we can see that the isobar pressures are anywhere from 1012-1024 mb. There are also two high pressure areas and three low pressure areas. The low pressure systems at the bottom left may have presented some weather occurrences like some slight showers.
