Weather in Ward 8, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma
This month here (1 to 5 November): hottest day 30.6 °C, 43 mm of rain; a normal November has 128 mm. Coldest night 12.4 °C on 5 November 2026.
Modelled estimates from a weather reanalysis, averaged over the whole place: not readings from a weather station, and not a forecast. Weather here is averaged over a 9 km grid; this ward overlaps 5 grid cells, each weighted by the ward’s area in it, and its neighbours draw on some of the same cells.
November so far, day by day
| Nov | High °C | Low °C | Rain mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21.5 | 14.3 | 20.2 |
| 2 | 20.6 | 12.5 | 11.5 |
| 3 | 19.3 | 13.5 | 5.9 |
| 4 | 25.4 | 13.9 | 0.4 |
| 5 | 30.6 | 12.4 | 4.7 |
Highs and lows are for the South African day; rain is for the day to 02:00 the next morning (the weather model’s day ends at midnight UTC). The weather model runs about five days behind the weather, so the newest day here is usually five to twelve days ago. Only whole days are shown.

What we changed: we cut ERA5-Land to South Africa, averaged its 9 km grid cells over each ward, municipality, district and province by the area of the place in each cell (MDB boundaries, 2026), took each day’s high and low from 16 of its hourly values, added up days into months, and averaged 1991 to 2020 for the normals.
