Borama's Climate
Borama sits on the north-western highlands of Somaliland, in Somalia, at around 1,500 m near the Ethiopian border, giving it a semi-arid climate that is far milder than the hot coastal plains. Its altitude keeps temperatures moderate all year, with daytime highs mostly 24–30°C and cool nights. Rain falls in two short Horn-of-Africa seasons: the Gu (April–June) and the Deyr (September–November), separated by dry, sunny spells. The driest months are often windy and dusty, while the rainy periods bring thunderstorms and pleasantly cooler air.
