From September to March you can expect day time highs of 26°C (78.8°F). Johannesburg in the summer, bring an umbrella and waterproof shoes, but don't bother with waterproof clothing as you'll find conditions too muggy and warm for that.

Johannesburg in the winter, you'll need to bring a variety of clothing - something lightweight for the warmer days, but something heavier for the colder nights.
