Cape Floristic Region Climate Profile: Monthly Temperature, Precipitation, and Atmospheric Averages

Access a structured analysis of the monthly climate normals for the Cape Floristic Region, covering the 1991 to 2020 period. This dataset presents long-term averages for temperature, daily precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours measured at a representative coordinate. These statistics provide consistent reference points for understanding the annual atmospheric cycle without incorporating current weather fluctuations or site-specific forecasts.
