About Ceres, Western Cape, South Africa

Ceres is a town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It was named after the Roman goddess Ceres. The name is fitting, as the valley in which the town is situated is extremely fertile and is a major producer of South Africa's deciduous fruit. Ceres falls within a Mediterranean climatic zone.

Ceres is a town with 46,251 inhabitants in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It is the administrative centre of the Witzenberg Local Municipality.

It is situated in the Warmbokkeveld Valley about 170 km north-east of Cape Town, which is climatically warmer than the surrounding highlands, which is known as the Kouebokkeveld

Ceres is well-known for fruit juices exported worldwide bearing the town's name. It is also famous locally for winter snow and cherries: Cape Town residents flock to the town during winter to ski or simply play in the powder — something of a rarity for the otherwise mild climate they are used to — whilst in summer, people come to pick cherries from "Klondyke" farm.

Peaches, nectarines, apples, apricots, pears and cherries are grown in the Ceres district, and visitors are welcome to tour orchards and fruit-packing houses on the Ceres Fruit Route, particularly between December and April during fruit picking season. The little town of Ceres, through which the Dwars River flows, lies on the western side of the valley.





Ceres Climate

Ceres experiences a typical Mediterranean climate tempered by its altitude. The town experiences warmer temperatures in summer, due to its inland location with infrequent rainfall, however winters are cool to quite cold and wet, with frequent snowfalls on the surrounding higher-lying ground, rarely falling on the valley floor itself. Total annual precipitation averages 1088mm, with average temperatures ranging from a February maximum of 29,9°C to a July minimum of 2,4°C
