Berg Wind and Painting in Wellington

Wellington sits at the foot of the Hawequas Mountains and the mouth of the Bainskloof Pass - a position that funnels berg wind through the valley and can create some of the most intense berg wind conditions in the Winelands. Temperatures can exceed 42 degrees with humidity below 10% on extreme days. In these conditions exterior paint skinning in seconds, loses adhesion and fails within one season.

Planning Around Berg Wind

Autumn (March to May) is the optimal exterior painting window - berg winds ease, temperatures moderate and conditions allow correct paint curing before winter rain. In summer, paint only early morning between 6am and 9am. Check three-day forecasts before scheduling. If the Hawequas are hazy and the north-easterly is blowing - postpone. See our pricing guide.
