I guess it depends on whether you get a cold front or not. I've done it at that time, and water scarcity was our biggest problem.

Like Smurf said, you can get warm temps in June, snow in November... Check the forecast.

Hi Sibr,
This period is typically the colder part of the year, so night time temperatures can (and often do) drop below freeing. It all depends on the weather. If nice sunshine only then often the lower berg drops to around freezing level, but on the escarpment be prepared for sub-zero night time temperatures. If it snows everywhere is sub-zero.
What I normally advise berg newbies to do is to make sure you have a decent sleeping bag. Even if you don't have a super warm jacket, you can still get into your sleeping bag and have a comfortable (although early) night. Daytime temperatures are mostly comfortable, except in higher wind conditions. Again, conditions on top of the escarpment is then generally colder than on the lower berg.
Don't let the weather put you off though, just take enough warm gear along and everyone should be fine.
Enjoy!!!
