About Newcastle weather

Newcastle is in Amajuba District Municipality, South Africa at -27.76°, 29.93°. Right now it’s 20° and clear; today’s high is 36° with a 0% chance of rain.

South Africa's position at the southern tip of Africa, surrounded by both the warm Indian Ocean and cold Atlantic currents, creates extraordinary climate diversity. The country's weather ranges from the Mediterranean climate of the Western Cape to the subtropical conditions of KwaZulu-Natal, and from the semi-arid Karoo to the temperate Highveld. The cold Benguela Current along the west coast creates persistent fog and keeps the Atlantic side dramatically cooler than the Indian Ocean coast.
