Johannesburg Weather, When to Go and Johannesburg Climate Information
(Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, ZA)



Johannesburg enjoys pleasant weather all year round. Indeed, this is amongst the city's main attractions for holidaymakers. One of the reasons for such a great climate is the fact that Johannesburg is located at high altitude, at some 1,753 metres / 5,751 feet above sea level.

Another reason is that there's often a light breeze, helping to ward off extremely hot temperatures. Johannesburg's seasons are not always clearly defined, with summer sometimes running and merging into autumn.
