South Africa has an arid climate overall, but depending on where you are, there can be multiple micro-climates. It's coastlines have green vegetation with rains that keep the coastlines green throughout the year. In the South-Western part of it, the climate is Mediterranean with winds blowing constantly all year (South Africa).

Your country's climate isn't too different from mine. Brazil, my country is pretty similar to Honolulu. It appears South Africa is a bit wetter than Brazil. Your country appears to be a bit cooler than Brazil as well, but the two countries aren't extremely different from each other.
