of afternoons thunderstorms. The rain comes in isolated
showers which last for a brief period and then clears
as quickly as it arrived.
The mean daily temperature in January, which is
the peak of summer, is in the region of about 25°
C. Owing to the high altitude of the Magaliesberg
area, the humidity is relatively low. The UV factor
here at times is considered very dangerous.

temperatures averaging at 16° C. The winter
evenings and early mornings can become more extreme
