For most of the country, rain falls mainly in the summer months with brief afternoon thunderstorms. The exception is the Western Cape and its capital city Cape Town where the climate is Mediterranean and it rains more in the wintertime. [4] In the winter months, snow collects on the high mountains of the Cape and the Drakensberg. A few times in ...
This is a list of cities by average temperature (monthly and yearly). The temperatures listed are averages of the daily highs and lows. Thus, the actual daytime temperature in a given month may be considerably higher than the temperature listed here, depending on how large the difference between daily highs and lows is.
Cape Town's coastal water ranges from cold to mild, and the difference between the two sides of the peninsula can be dramatic. While the Atlantic Seaboard averages annual sea surface temperatures around 13 °C (55 °F), the False Bay coast is much warmer, averaging between 16 and 17 °C (61 and 63 °F) annually.

This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
This definition also precisely related the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which defines the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature with symbol K. Absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as being exactly 0 K and −273.15 °C. Until 19 May 2019, the temperature of the triple point of water was defined as exactly 273.16 ...
Highest average monthly temperature: 42.3 °C (108.1 °F), in Death Valley, California, for the month of July 2018. [ 195 ] [ 196 ] Highest temperature north of the Arctic Circle: 38.0 °C (100.4 °F) in Verkhoyansk , Russia on 20 June 2020.
The hottest average temperature on Earth is at Dallol, Ethiopia, which averages a temperature of 33.9 °C (93.0 °F) throughout the year. [5] The hottest temperature recorded within Africa, which was also the world record, was 57.8 °C (136.0 °F) at 'Aziziya, Libya, on 13 September 1922. This was later proven to be false, being derived from an ...
The Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine scales were redefined in terms of the Kelvin scale using this definition. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The 2019 revision of the SI now defines the kelvin in terms of energy by setting the Boltzmann constant to exactly 1.380 649 × 10 −23 joules per kelvin ; [ 2 ] every 1 K change of thermodynamic temperature ...
