The best time to visit Cape Town is anytime.
However, the most popular time for holidaymakers is during the summer months between December and March, when the average maximum temperature hovers at 26°C (78°F) and the famous (but often fierce) southeasterly wind known as ‘Cape Doctor’ brings a welcome breeze.
