The weather in the Cape Province is totally different from the province I live in or any other province for that matter.
The first thing I noticed when we got to Cape Town, is the wind. I have never experienced anything like it. Everyone in Cape Town drive at 80km/ph (49 miles/ph). It hit me like a rock, realising that the reason why the people in Cape Town drive so slowly (not just because the speed signs instruct them to), but also because of how the wind have such a massive effect on your car while in motion.
I went a bit faster than 80km/ph (49 miles/ph) and then I could feel how the strong wind, throw my car from one side to the other. Slacking off immediately and then it was better.
The other thing is sunrises and sunsets.
In the upper provinces in South Africa, summer sunrise is at 05h00 and summer sunset is at 19h00. In Cape Town though, summer sunrise is at 05h00 as well but summer sunsets are at 20h30. Yes, 20h30!
On Christmas Eve, we went to one of the shopping centers to get some food and their signs read: “Closing time at 19h00.”
I told hubby that we have enough time left because it is now only 17h00 (me judging by the sun.) Hubby said: “No! It’s 18h55 already.” I could not believe this and when he showed his watch to me, I was in shock. He had a good giggle at me, being so confused.
I rather liked it that the sun sets so late. It means the day feels and are longer, giving you more sunlight time to do more things. I also assume that you don’t need electricity until 20h30 by switching on lights, so you also save on your Utilities bill.
Also, with the sun which sets later, it gives you time to go out for a run after 19h00 because it is still light outside … this is not possible in my province though. So people in Cape Town can enjoy their runs/walks and training at 19h00 with sunlight. Now that’s great!
I like Cape Town and it is such a different world compared to the one I live in daily. Especially the weather 
the late sunset is one of my favourite things too!
you should go visit scotland or ireland. I will send you a pic I took at about 10 pm – in bright daylight.
it got bad though because we’d have supper at 9 – 10 pm at night!!!
