Berg Wind and Painting in Bothasig
By Bothasig Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
Bothasig experiences some of the most intense berg wind conditions in Cape Town. During berg wind, temperatures exceed 38 degrees and humidity drops below 20% — causing water-based paint to skin over before bonding properly. Never paint exterior surfaces during active berg wind conditions. See our full Bothasig painting guide for seasonal advice.
Safe Painting Windows
Paint only early morning (6-9am) or late afternoon (from 4pm) during summer. Never paint on surfaces hot to the touch. Autumn (March-May) is the ideal season for exterior painting in Bothasig — temperatures moderate and berg winds ease.
