Let's discuss the climate and seasons of Angola and Namibia.
Certainly. Climate is crucial, whether you're planning a vacation or, say, establishing a penguin farm.
Penguin farms in Africa? Perhaps a slightly unconventional business idea for these locations, unless there are undiscovered arctic zones. Let's begin with Angola. It's tropical, correct?
Mostly. Angola's climate is diverse. Northern Angola is hot, humid, and rain-forested. Southern Angola is drier and cooler.
So, lush rainforests in the north, abundant rainfall, and high temperatures year-round?
Precisely. Average temperatures in the north range from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. The rainy season is typically September to May.
And the dry season?
June to August offers sunshine and less humidity.
What about southern Angola?
Less rainfall, more arid, and cooler temperatures, generally in the 20 to 27-degree Celsius range.
Interesting. Now, Namibia. What's the climate like there?
Namibia has an arid desert climate. It's one of the driest countries globally.
So, a hot, dry desert climate? Does the heat ever subside?
Summer (October to April) is intensely hot, exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, sometimes reaching 40 inland. Winter (May to September) is surprisingly cool; temperatures can drop to single digits at night.
And rainfall?
Rainfall is scarce, less than 350mm annually in most areas, and minimal in the Namib Desert.
So, for Angola, you have a choice between a hot, humid rainforest climate in the north and a drier, cooler climate in the south. Namibia offers a hot, dry desert climate with surprisingly cool nights in winter.
Exactly. It's a matter of choosing your preferred climate adventure.
