Franschhoek's Climate
Franschhoek has a Mediterranean type climate, with warm summers, mild winters, and plenty of rain in the winter. Because the climate is not extreme, Franschhoek can be visited at any time of the year.
Franschhoek in the Winter
Franschhoek's winter months are June, July and August. Although the town never gets truly cold, winter temperatures can drop to around 7°C overnight, which feels chilly. During the day, a very mild 18°C is possible, warmer in the sunshine.
If you're visiting Franschhoek in the winter, take layered clothing to cope with the temperature differences. You'll also want to take an umbrella, as this is the wettest time of year - but don't let that put you off. The surrounding hills and countryside are gloriously green in the winter months, and there are plenty of whale watching opportunities on the nearby cape coast.
Franschhoek in the Spring
September, October and November are spring in Franschhoek. The town continues to warm up during spring, with average daily highs reaching 21°C by the end of October. Nights are warmer too, usually in the low teens Celsius. It still rains a little in the spring, but mostly in the form of short showers.
Spring is a wonderful time to visit Franschhoek as the climate is comfortable, and the area is in bloom. Bring summer clothing, but with a coverup for the cooler evenings.
Franschhoek in the Summer
December, January and February are summer in Franschhoek, and this is the most popular time to visit the town. Expect warm, sunny weather, with average daily highs of around 25-30°C and sultry nights of around 20°C.
There is almost no rain in Franschhoek during the summer months, so leave the umbrella at home. This is the perfect time to explore the surrounding vineyards and to make the most of the gourmet dining experiences on offer in the town and nearby.
Franschhoek in the Autumn
The autumn months in Franschhoek are March, April and May. Temperatures will begin to drop at this time, but only a little - the end of May still sees day time highs of 22°C and you will be unlucky if the night time temperature dips into single figures. Again, however, bring layered clothing to account for all eventualities.
Autumn is a peak time for wine tours, as it is harvest season, so be aware that you may have to book well in advance for some of these.
