Forecast

KwaZulu's air pressure changes with weather patterns. High pressure brings clear skies and low pressure brings rain and strong winds. The region's coastal geography and mountains affect air pressure. Moist air from the Indian Ocean cools and rises, creating areas of low pressure. Summer has low pressure and warm, humid air, leading to thunderstorms. Winter has high pressure, resulting in cooler, drier conditions. KwaZulu has a subtropical climate with generally low pressure. This leads to significant rainfall throughout the year. The Drakensberg Mountains create a rain shadow effect, lowering air pressure on the eastern side, leading to more rainfall.
