Weather
The highveld , which includes most of the larger towns and cities, have a nearly idyllic climate for enjoying the outdoors. It is almost always possible to plan a picnic or barbecue and seldom be disappointed with the weather.

Summer is marked by warm to hot days, often tempered by exciting thunder storms that cool the air and bring mild evenings. Gauteng enjoys seven months of summer (October to April) with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius (87 degrees Fahrenheit) and above.

Winters can be fiercely cold but more often than less we have cloudless blue skies during the day that bring a certain amount of warmth at noon. Temperatures generally reach 20 degrees Celsius (69 degrees Fahrenheit).
