The Western Cape generally has a Mediterranean climate with warm dry summers and wet cool winter. Both the Warm Indian and cold Atlantic Ocean have a big influence in the Cape's weather making climate vary quite a bit over a short distance.

Cape Town and its surrounding areas generally have a cooler climate due to the cold Benguela current (which comes from the Atlantic Ocean). During summer, rain is very low and temperatures can be quite high... making famous beaches like Clifton Beach and as well as the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula - very busy. As mentioned above, most the Cape Towns rain is experienced during Winter.

The Karoo (inland) has a semi-arid climate, with a nature of extreme high and low temperatures. Because the sea-facing side of the escarpment receives most of the rain, this then leaves the lee side of the escarpment and interior, dry, with little rain (approx 400mm of rain annually)
If you are the type that enjoys hot summers, cold frosty winters and the occasional thunderstorm ... then, Karoo here we come!

Meanwhile most of the Garden Route and on the South Coast of Overberg experience a Maritime climate - Moist, mild Summers and moist, cool winters.
The Great Escarpment is a major influence on the amount of rainfall in the Garden route. Warm humid sea winds from the indian Ocean, are blown up the sea-facing side of the Great escarpment - making it hard for the wind to overcome the Outeniqua mountains, which generates high rainfall in this region, and therefore also making the climate on the other side of the Outeniqua mountains semi-arid.

If it is raining in George ... Often people would drive up and over the Outeniqua mountains, towards Oudtshoorn, to experience warm sunny weather.
