Long-term monthly climate normals spanning temperature, humidity, wind, and daylight duration

Kosi Bay Climate Profile: Monthly Temperature, Precipitation, and Atmospheric Averages

Examine the multi-year atmospheric patterns for Kosi Bay based on climate observations from 1991 to 2020. This data provides a twelve-month record of average temperature fluctuations, precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours at a single representative coordinate. These statistics offer a factual baseline for understanding the annual climate rhythm of this protected area in KwaZulu-Natal without representing current weather or localized variations.

Kosi Bay Annual Climate Normals: Monthly Average Temperature and Precipitation Patterns

Average monthly temperatures at Kosi Bay peak during early months with mean values exceeding twenty-six degrees before gradually decreasing to moderate levels around twenty-one degrees mid-year. Average daily precipitation rates follow a similar annual progression, ranging from highest daily amounts near five millimeters down to minimal dry-season averages based on historical NASA POWER records.
