Bonjour,
Quelques infos sur le temps en avril...
The elevation of the
Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal, where peaks exceed 3000 metres, results in moderate temperatures. This also applies to the Natal Midlands in front of the
Drakensberg, where summer temperatures hardly ever rise over the 30 degree mark. Precipitation is concentrated on the rainy season in summer (December, January and February), when daily thundershowers occur. At times it pours for days, sometimes a whole week. But there are always long sunny periods as well, even in the rainy season.
In the winter months (from June to August) it is dry and pleasantly warm during the day. The thermometer climbs up to over 20 degrees. But the nights can be really cold and even in the moderately high regions, temperatures sink below zero. In higher regions it snows. The autumn months of April and May have the most pleasant climate. Spring is also very appealing, because at that time the wild flowers are in full bloom

Below is a summary of what the weather could be like per season:
Winter:May to end of August.This period is usually associated with snow, sub zero temperatures at night and frost. The days and nights are generally clear. Sunset is at about 17H30 while sunrise is at about 07H00.
Summer:November to March. Summer sees some high daytime temperatures (average of about 28 degrees Celsius).However, with the warm air comes the massive thunderstoems and rain. The thunderstorms are usually in the afternoon.
Nice time to hike (if you like the rain) as the
Drakensberg is beautiful and green at this time of the year. The waterfalls are also pretty dramatic due to the high rainfall.
Spring:September and October. Expect high rainfall and moderate temperatures. Quite a
nice time of the year as you will be able to see the contrasts is colour from the brown of winter and the green of summer.
Autumn:Mid March to April. This time of the year sees quite stable weather. The rain will be virtually non-existant and the temperatures are still ‘bearable’. And we don’t mean Grylls bearable either. The best time to hike in the
Drakensberg for him is different from us humans.
