The climate varies slightly according to the regions of the country. Mozambique's south coast offers a pleasurable period from April to November of consistently low rainfall and pleasant temperatures between 20 to 29°C (68-85°F) days. Temperatures rise somewhat as you go further northwards, and are downright unpleasant in the northwest around Tete city in summer (although there is little to draw you to this region as a visitor). In contrast to this, however, the higher country around Lichinga, near Lake Niassa is refreshingly cool.

Water temperatures in Mozambique are in the high 20s (centigrade) in the summer and low 20's in the winter - this does vary greatly along the coast line as it is a startling 2 500km long....

NOTE: Travelling in Mozambique can be time consuming, but if you are not rushing back for an 8:00am Monday meeting, the Mud Hut Tribe can personally recommend some fantastic out of the way diving, camping and 4x4 holidays.
