Published: 31/01/2011 by Carrie Hampton
With the possibility of four seasons in one day, it is hard to know exactly what to pack for Cape Town, South Africa. A jacket is essential (light for summer, thick for winter), so is a hat and sunglasses. Capetonians hardly ever use an umbrella because of the accompanying wind, so don't bother bringing one. Detailed weather forecasts of southern Africa, updated hourly and including the latest satellite image, are available here.
