This month here (1 to 5 November): hottest day 31.3 °C, 11 mm of rain; a normal November has 104 mm. Coldest night 15.2 °C on 3 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 10 grid cells, each weighted by the ward’s area in it, and its neighbours draw on some of the same cells.

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.
