Weather in Durban

Durban has very hot, humid summers and mild to warm winters. Rainfall is frequent during the summer months but since it comes in the form of thunderstorms in the afternoons, the sunny holiday weather is not badly affected. In winter, temperatures are more comfortable and still warm enough for going to the beach.
