Just for interest's sake - have a look at the website yr.no for nice weather forecasts with graphics etc and information on a lot of small towns as well

Not accurate

www.yr.no is not as accurate as www.weathersa.co.za

I find yr.no more accurate than weathersa.co za, it even shows Paternoster and Botrivier!

But check it out yourselves...

www.windguru.com is allo

www.windguru.com is also fairly good (for the coast and dams only) but consistantly shows cool temps than weathersa.

Add 

Add  http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/cape_town_airport#  to the mix.

Now you have at least 4 sites that do not aggree on anything.

Weather forecasting in this country is not an exact science, me thinks

Something like that.

Or ignore all the above and look out the window.

Much of a guessing game though with fingers crossed.

same raw weather data for all

yr.no, windguru to an extent, and Etv and most other forcasters use the same raw weather modeling data from the same source based in europe ( Germany)  its how it gets intepreted thats sometimes different.
