Climate in Zambia

Zambia has warm weather year-round with three distinct seasons. From December to April, it's hot and wet. Between May and August, the weather is cooler and dry, while September to November is hot and dry. Rainfall varies across the country, with northern areas experiencing earlier and longer rains, and the east receiving more rain than the western lowlands.

Summer temperatures range from 77°F to 95°F (25°C to 35°C), while winter temperatures vary more widely, from 43°F (6°C) at night to 75°F (24°C) during the day. Autumn and spring are short and not clearly defined.

During the rainy season, roads can become muddy and many camps close. The best time to visit is June to September, when the weather is dry and game viewing is excellent.
