Daily Weather in Cape Town

South Africa's Capital City is Cape Town and my 5-day forecast will cover March 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25.  For March 21st, the high is forecasted to be 81 degrees Fahrenheit and the low will be 60 with a 0% chance of precipitation.  The 22nd is forecasted to have a high of 76 and a low of 59 with a 10% chance.  March 23rd is forecasted to have a high of 72 and a low of 59 with a 40% chance of precipitation.  March 24th is expected to have a high of 67 and a low of 56 with 40% chance of precipitation.  The 25th is forecasted to have a high of 66 and a low of 57 with another 40% chance of precipitation.

It is clear skies for Cape Town.  The area is mostly dry with trees, but has parks with lots of green grass and there are bird sanctuaries.  Lake Sandvlei is surrounded by houses and a bird sanctuary. Another lake is Zeekoevlei.  In the center of Cape Town there is a castle called the Castle of Good Hope and is mostly industrialized.

On the continent, there are 3 highs and 2 lows.  Isobar pressures that are observed are 1012mb, 1016 mb, 1020mb, and 1024mb.  The pressures are located towards the top and bottom of Africa.  There are mostly high pressures located out in the ocean.

In South Africa, there are 3 high pressures and 1 low pressure.  The low pressure is 1012mb and the 3 highs are at 1016mb and 1020mb.  One high pressure is just of the coast of South Africa.  A cold front is out in the ocean as well heading towards Madagascar.  

Global and Local Winds in South Africa

The latitude and longitude of South Africa is 30 degrees S and 25 degrees E in the Southern Hemisphere.  South Africa resides in the mid-latitude cell.  The Westerlies blow for South Africa and the prevailing wind direction is NW.  An anticyclone, which is a High pressure system, travels over the country during April.  The Horse Latitudes are located near South Africa.  The 30 degrees S is the line for the Horse Latitudes and South Africa lines up with it.

Global Wind Patterns (wiki)

Because of the wind patterns of Westerlies and the anticyclone, South Africa tends to be warm and due to the latitude of 30 degrees S, it has a desert and is very hot and dry.  The anticyclone makes the area very sunny with little clouds so it gets hot in the day time.

South Africa has mountains and winds associated with mountains are mountain breezes, katabatic winds, anabatic winds, foehn winds and valley breezes.  I think that South Africa can experience all of those types of winds depending on the weather and season.  There is a coastline and the breezes are land and sea breezes.  South Africa can experience both.
