This forecast covers: Fri 11 Jul – Fri 11 Jul


Light snow is possible again for the Western Cape peaks on Friday, as per the map above.

Many of the Western Cape peaks may receive some snowfall during the day and into the early evening on Friday this week. This includes the peaks around Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, Franschhoek, Tulbagh, Worcester, Robertson, Ceres, the Koue Bokkeveld and the Cederberg.

Snow may fall in the Cederberg, Koue Bokkeveld or the Bo-swaarmoed Pass and Matroosberg Reserve but it will probably not fall down low. A dusting of snow is more likely slightly up the mountain in these areas.

If you are planning to travel through areas that may get snow this winter it is worth being prepared by reading our article on safe winter travel.


The map indicates where we are seeing the possibility of snow, but it may not fall in all of the areas shown on the map. As with any forecast of any kind (temperature, clouds, rain, wind), what eventually happens may or may not be similar to the forecast. Snow indicated may reduce or vanish completely in some areas, or the dates and times may change.
