Weather
Most of the Southern African region is either tropical or sub-tropical.
Seasons are reversed, with spring and summer from September to
February, and autumn and winter from March to August. Days in
the summer are warm to hot (but humidity is, for the most part,
low), with balmy evenings. Early winter mornings are cold and
crisp, with the temperature rising through the course of the
day; as the sun sets, the temperature falls again, making for
cool, clear nights.
NAMIBIA - AUGUST
The dry winter season (May to October) is the
most pleasant time to visit Namibia. It is very sparsely populated
and most of it is desert or semi-desert.
Temperatures are relatively
low between 55-66 ° F most of
the time due to the cold Benguela current. On a few days each
month, particularly in winter, midday temperatures rise quite
high when the berg wind blows from the interior. The interior
is marked by low rainfall as well, and much of it is semi-desert
or desert. The interior receives some scanty but unreliable summer
rain that increases eastwards and northwards. Like most interior
deserts Namibia's has a very sunny climate.
