Western Cape's weather for the week, 26 September - 2 October 2026: Cape Town and the province's main towns day by day, with SAWS warnings and advisories.
Well, Cape Town folks, the week kicks off wet and cool with rain showers on Saturday sitting around 14 to 20 degrees, and Sunday stays cloudy and a touch cooler at 14 to 18. Things brighten up from Monday, with partly cloudy skies climbing to 22, then proper clear skies on Tuesday and Wednesday reaching a lovely 26 and 27. Clouds return by Thursday around 15 to 22, and Friday brings high level clouds. Stellenbosch and Paarl follow much the same pattern, though Paarl runs a bit warmer near 22 to 23.
Down in George it stays damp, starting with rain showers near 19 and turning to slight rain around 15 to 16 midweek. Take note of the active severe thunderstorm warnings for Prince Albert, Bergrivier, Calvinia and Beaufort West, so keep an umbrella close if you are heading that way.
