Best time to visit Gqeberha

Gqeberha has no real season. The best month scores 92 and the worst 86, a spread of just 6 points, so the honest answer to "when should I go" is whenever the flights are cheapest. The good window runs January to December — 12 months within ten points of the best.

February is the warmest month at 25 °C and July the coolest at 19.3 °C — a 5.7 °C spread across the year.

There is a real wet season here. January, February, March, October and November carry the rain — up to 9 wet days in a month — while May, June and September drop as low as 4. That 5-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Gqeberha, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in January, February, March, April and December — 22.8 °C at its warmest against 19.1 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 9.9 hours in winter to 14.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are May, September, June. The one to think twice about is November. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
