What to wear in Cape Town in June: Warm layers, fleece or down jacket, waterproof shell, long pants, and waterproof boots or shoes. 63°F highs and 49°F lows, 10 rain days. Reference local context: wet and windy conditions around the V&A Waterfront or on hikes to Lion's Head.
June kicks off winter with cool 63°F highs, 49°F lows, and 10 rain days. The peninsula gets its characteristic stormy weather, but clear days between fronts offer crisp air and spectacular views. The V&A Waterfront and the historic Robben Island ferry rides benefit from warm layers; one visitor pain point is the relentless wind combined with rain that can soak through inadequate outerwear on the exposed waterfront and mountain paths.
