The numbers
What the weather here is
The only country in the world entirely above 1,000 m — its lowest point is 1,400 m and Thabana Ntlenyana reaches 3,482 m — which makes it the coldest place in southern Africa. Snow falls on the highlands in any month and reliably in winter, temperatures at Letseng have gone below −20 °C, and the country runs a ski resort at 3,200 m. The altitude is also the economy: rain and snowmelt on the Maloti feed the Highlands Water Project, which sells water into South Africa's Vaal system. Rainfall of 700 to 1,000 mm arrives October to April, often as damaging hail.
