Forecast

Franschhoek's weather is influenced by its location near the Atlantic Ocean and its mountainous surroundings, which affect air pressure. The ocean's cool air keeps pressure relatively stable.

The valley's geography, surrounded by mountains, traps cold air and makes it harder for warm air to enter, causing pressure to drop. This leads to more rainfall and mist.

In summer, the South Easterly wind blows, bringing warmer air and higher pressure, resulting in clear skies and sunny days. In winter, cold fronts bring lower pressure and rain.
