January in Soshanguve, South Africa, brings average daily highs of 30°C and overnight lows of 19°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Allow room to shorten long outdoor plans when the day's forecast is hotter than you want. A schedule with easy breaks and less travelling between stops will give you more choices.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 12 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 39%. Give wet-weather alternatives a proper place in the itinerary. Arrange outdoor plans so you can move them between days, and pack a rain layer rather than relying on a completely dry run of weather.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 14 hours. Sunshine averages 12 hours a day. The longer daylight window gives you more choice about when to be outside; it does not mean every part of the day will be sunny. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
Start with the places you most want to visit, then keep the order flexible enough to suit the weather. Check current opening hours and local transport before fixing long day trips. The climate record can help with pacing and packing, but it does not describe what is open during your stay.
February has an average daily high of 29°C, 1°C lower than January. Its historical rain-day chance is 41%, compared with 39% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
