How rain works in this part of the country

The Eastern Cape coast sits on the transition between the Cape's winter rainfall and the summer rainfall of the east, so rain can arrive in any month and no season is reliably dry. Much of it comes in with the frontal systems and coastal lows that track along the shoreline, which is why the wind so often changes just before it starts.
