I checked my car's external thermometer and it's reading was 38°C in Cape Town, with the temperature increasing as one travels more inland towards Stellenbosch and Paarl. If it were possible to package and ship heat, we'd be making a small fortune.
You may be wondering why the beach isn't as packed with bodies as one would expect on such a warm day. There wasn't much opportunity for me to get to the beach - so I grabbed this photo from my December archive. I can however pretty much guarantee you that Clifton is *far* more crowded than this on days like today!
