The Republic of South Africa is located in Africa. The country is washed by two oceans, such as the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean. South African Republic - has a fairly long coastline. To determine the temperature of the water in it, we track 24 settlements and resorts.

Tropical in the north and subtropical in the south of the country. The western coast of the country is washed by the cold Bengal current, and the eastern by the warm Mozambique current, which, along with the elevated relief and coastal mountain ranges, contribute to the formation of the country's special climate.The average January temperature is from +18 C to +27 o C, July - from +7 C to +10 o C, while, depending on the terrain, even neighboring areas can significantly differ from each other in air temperature. Precipitation falls from 30-150 mm. on the west coast, up to 650 mm. on the central plateaus and up to 2000 mm. on the eastern slopes of the Dragon Mountains.

We monitor the following oceans and seas that wash the country. Just go to the page for a specific reservoir and see the temperature in all settlements on the coast.

Find out the temperature of sea water in more than 12000 cities and resorts around the world. Water surface temperature values are available in real time. There is a forecast of water temperature changes for the next few days, as well as historical data of sea surface temperature are available for all days of the last years.

We use data from various sources, including National Centers for Environmental Information (NOAA), meteorological services of different countries, data received from more than a thousand buoys around the world, satellite systems for scanning the surface of the oceans and seas.
