The rains fall largely between December and March.
This does vary a little between the north and south
of the country, with the rains lasting a few weeks longer in the north than the
south, but the pattern is the same. Humidity can be uncomfortably high during
this period.
By around April or May the rains subside, the sun
comes out and the humidity drops – better weather spreads gradually from the
south to the north.
June to October is the dry season, with often
perfect tropical weather: clear skies, plenty of sun and almost no rain. This
is the best time for most people to visit Mozambique. Although still tropical,
June, July and August are Mozambique's coolest months; you'll need a light
duvet at night, even though the temperature reaches over 30°C by day. During
September and October, it remains dry as daytime temperatures climb, though it
cools down a lot at night.
November is a less predictable month of transition.
Sometimes the rains start, although many days remain sunny and hot. The rains
generally start earlier in the north of the country.
