Season & Climate
Zimbabwe lies within the tropics but enjoys subtropical conditions because of its high average elevation.
During the months of November up until March, there are hot days, warm, balmy nights and a high chance of rain and thunderstorms during the afternoons. It must be noted that Zimbabwe's rainy season is slightly shorter than Zambia & Malawi.
During April & May there is a high chance of rain, with warm days and pleasantly cool nights.
In June through till August, rain is unlikely and the mornings are cold but sunny and evening temperatures can drop as low as 8C. September and October are dry and very hot during the day while the nights are warm.
The above is a guideline and it must be noted that weather patterns all over Africa are becoming more and more unpredictable possibly due to global warming.
