Hi Priscilla,

On my blog about expat life in South Africa, Joburg Expat, I've written many posts about the climate, for instance:

You can find more on this topic by visiting and navigating to "weather" via the "browse Joburg Expat" dropdown on the upper right.

South Africa has a great climate i should say, though its been very hot the past few months and winters not as a cold as before ( i haven't had a cold winter in a while).

In the heat it helps to drink lots of water and wear sunscreen.

In winter lots of options to keep warm
