The working week in the Northern Cape opens on the cool and wet side, with Kimberley sitting at 15 to 22 degrees under moderate rain on Monday. Things settle and warm through the middle of the week as partly cloudy skies on Tuesday give way to mostly clear conditions by Wednesday, when Kimberley climbs to 24 degrees. By Thursday and Friday the heat holds around 25 degrees, but showers and thundershowers return to close out the week.
Out west, Springbok starts with rain showers around 14 degrees before easing off, while Upington warms nicely towards 25 degrees midweek. De Aar shifts from moderate rain to clearer, warmer days. Keep a raincoat handy early on, and note the SAWS weather advisories for Garies, Pofadder and Springbok.
