Information on Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills. Johannesburg is also served by O.R. Tambo International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Africa and a gateway for international air travel to and from the rest of southern Africa. Johannesburg has a land area of 1,645 square kilometres with a population in the city of almost 4 million and a population in the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area of almost eight million. Johannesburg is the economic and financial hub of South Africa, producing 16% of South Africa's gross domestic product, and accounts for 40% of Gauteng's economic activity. Johannesburg enjoys a dry, sunny climate, with the exception of occasional late afternoon downpours in the summer months of October to April. Temperatures in Johannesburg are usually fairly mild thanks to the city's high altitude, with the average maximum daytime temperature in January of 26 °C dropping to an average maximum of around 16 °C in June. Winter is the sunniest time of the year, with cool days and cold nights. The annual average rainfall in Johannesburg is 713 millimetres, which is mostly concentrated in the summer months.
