Durban climate: monthly averages

One page for Durban climate: monthly averages, sourced from public APIs and refreshed automatically. Expect 20.0 C at the coldest (Jul) and 25.0 C at the warmest (Feb) — a 5.0 C spread. Expect a wet month and a dry month but no real season: 4.06 mm/day in Nov against 0.90 mm/day in Jun. Taken together that is roughly 887 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. The build runs on a schedule and caches the last good response, so the numbers stay put even when the upstream API is having a bad day. The table underneath carries the per-month breakdown; the related pages cover the same dataset nearby.

What the Durban climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the -29.8579, 31.0292 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

Is Durban climate data a forecast?

No. These are multi-decadal averages for the grid cell, not a prediction for any particular year.

Why do the numbers differ from a weather app?

An app shows one location on one day. These are long-run averages, so they smooth out single hot or cold spells.
