Weather

KwaZulu Natal has a warm sub-tropical climate all year round.

March to May offer wonderfully warm dry days, and possibly the best times to visit Kwa Zulu Natal. From June to August (the winter months) the days are usually sunny and mild, with cooler evenings. It is warm and dry with very little wind.

September to November are generally warm and dry, but may sometimes be windy. December to February (the summer months) are hot and humid, with regular afternoon thunderstorms, as this is the rainy season.

Remember the seasons are opposite to Europe.
