Climate...

The weather conditions that characterise the Free State are typical of those of an interior plateau: summer rains, cold winters and plenty of sunshine - between 60% and 85% of the days of the year are without significant cloud cover.

Other factors that determine the climate are altitude above sea level and distance from the ocean, which result in semi-arid to warm conditions in the west, semi-arid and cool conditions in the central parts and moist and cool conditions in the eastern parts of the province, where the mountains are often covered in snow. The southern part of the province is dry and hot in summer and cold in winter. Frost occurs throughout the region usually from May to early September in the west and up to early October in the east.
