Further north, the environment transitions into the dry scrubland of the Karoo, while the eastern belt contains dense indigenous forests. The local climate is primarily Mediterranean, bringing hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters to the western areas, while the eastern coastline receives year-round rainfall.
