Which station measures Pretoria's temperature?

Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at Waterkloof. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from Meteostat and its data providers observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
