Cape Doctor

Pedestrians in Cape Town fight the wind

The Cape Doctor, a persistent dry southeasterly blows over Cape Town, bringing fresh clean sea air. Important to marine and plant life, it forces life-giving oxygen into the shallow waters of the river mouth and lagoon. The fynbos that grow in the thin soil of Table Mountain soak up much-needed moisture of condensation. Clouds called "table cloths" then drape the mountain, bringing welcome rain.
