The climate of Pretoria (South Africa)
Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa and is located in the Gauteng province. Pretoria is just an hour’s drive away from Johannesburg which is the largest city in South Africa.
Pretoria has a moderate savannah climate (type Cwa) with warm wet summers and mild dry winters. From May to September it hardly ever rains and when it does amounts are small. During the local summer months (our winter) the climate is warmer, but wetter. During the months of December and January rain falls every other day on average. During this period over 100 millimeters of rain falls per month. Subzero temperatures and snow are uncommon in this area. Subzero temperatures may occur on ground levels but temperatures will rise to a pleasant 15-22 degrees during the day.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
