Sweet spot: April, May, June. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
💡 Good to know
- SANParks identifies August–September as the flower-season window, but rainfall, temperature, sunshine and annual gate notices control the actual display.
- The defining Skilpad–Postberg flower-season promise is not supported outside August–September; use a different landscape product instead.
