Le Cap - Table Mountain
🇿🇦 Western Cape · South Africa — Altitude 38 m
This camera looks at Table Mountain above Cape Town, the flat-topped landmark that defines the city skyline. It is useful for checking whether the mountain is clear or covered by cloud before you plan a walk or a cable car ride.
Cape Town sits on the southwestern tip of South Africa, in the Western Cape, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Table Mountain rises steeply behind the city bowl and is known for its long flat summit, which often collects a cloud layer called the tablecloth. The mountain is part of the Table Mountain National Park and is one of the most recognisable natural features in the country.
The view shows the mountain from the city, so the main thing to follow is the cloud and light on the summit. Clear mornings tend to give the sharpest outlines, while afternoons often bring wind and cloud drifting over the top. Sunset can be striking when the rock turns golden, depending on the view and the weather.
Cape Town has a Mediterranean-type climate with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, and the south-easterly wind is common in summer. The cable car and hiking trails are often affected by wind and cloud, so checking the live view and the forecast on this page helps. Nearby cameras include Capetown Live and the Eastern Horizon weather camera, and Milnerton is a short drive to the north.
