What are the characteristic opptions
Answer:
South Africa is a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464 mm. While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region. South Africa's coastal regions are therefore relatively warm in winter.
So in short: Hot and dry.
