  Mountain fire season

  1. nov. – 15. maj · normaltRøgsæsonLukninger

  The fynbos burns most summers, and a bad day closes hiking paths, the cableway and sometimes a suburb's roads. The park keeps crews on standby from November to May; smoke can sit over the city bowl for a day after the flames are out. Kilde ↗

  The south-easter

  15. nov. – 28. feb. · normaltVindsæsonLukninger

  The summer wind that runs the city, laying a cloth of cloud over Table Mountain and shutting the cableway for days at a time. It is at its hardest from November to February and decides your mountain day far more than the forecast does. Kilde ↗

  Sunday evening concerts on the lawns below the mountain at the botanical garden, running from late November to the end of March. Picnic blankets go down hours early and the big names sell out. Kilde ↗
