Information About

Cape Doctor




Although the wind smites a wide area of the sub-continent, it is notorious especially in and around the Cape Peninsula, where it can be unpleasantly strong and irritating. The 'Cape Doctor' is to some extent an obsolescent term; many now simply call it the "South-Easter". An odd thing is that the meteorological records for Cape Town show that the north-west winds of winter can be far stronger and more destructive than the south-easter.
