South Africa falls in a temperate zone, south of the equator, with summers from November to March and winters from May to August.
Its temperatures are influenced by factors such as height above sea level and ocean currents. The temperature of an area not only affects how we as humans function, but will also determine when crops are planted, which crops will grow best and even how a farm should be managed.
