Climate / Weather
Cape Town weather can best be described as "Mediterranean". An ideal medical tourism destination, the Mother City boasts dry, hot summers - perfect for exploring the many marvels of the Western Cape.

From November to March there is little rain and more than 11 hours of sunshine per day. Summer evenings stretch idly by with the sun setting as late as 9pm.

Now Surgical Bliss offers you the opportunity to show off your newly sculpted figure on a blissful beach holiday once you recover from your cosmetic surgery in South Africa.

During spring (September and October) and autumn (April and May), the weather is balmy and nature is at its finest. While our winters (June – August) can be rather stormy, there are plenty temperate days in between.

Winter is the best time to enjoy the Cape Floral Kingdom as it blooms and to spot the Southern Right Whales cavorting in the waves off the coast..

Warm or chilly, Cape Town is a great medical tourism destination in any weather. Enjoy cool cocktails at sunset in the summer, or stay indoors and enjoy a sumptuous meal near the fireplace on long winter nights.
