Even as a local I still find Cape Town to be absolutely astonishing. While its Summers seem to get hotter every year and our whining grows even louder about the rain in winter, Cape Town never seizes to pleasantly surprise us with it's extraordinary climates and bizarre weather patterns.

When it rains, it pours and when the sun shines it lights up the entire city, however the weather has a tendency to do one when it's supposed to do another. During the summer months, it'll hardly rain during the day. But every now and then we'll wake up to a thunderstorm and have the opportunity to see the flashes of light dance around our iconic Table Mountain. 

What is truly remarkable, is that it can also be the middle of winter and amongst days of rain the Cape of Storms somehow transforms itself into a bright and light city, with temperatures reaching close to the 30's. 

One of Cape Town's most charming attributes is that it's temperatures and weather is mild throughout the year. The days are never particularly freezing and the hot days are always bearable. Regardless of the time of year, there's sure to be a grand sight to behold and a surprise awaiting you. 

We've found some stunning photographs of Cape Town's bizare weather. Some call it Global Warming, others simply state "Africa...", regardless, we're sticking around for the show.
