Calumbo's Climate
Calumbo lies in Bengo province near Angola's northern Atlantic coast, not far from the capital Luanda. Chilled by the cold Benguela current offshore, it has a semi-arid tropical climate that is surprisingly dry for its tropical latitude. The hot rainy season (October–April) is muggy and humid with short showers and thunderstorms and temperatures usually 26–32°C, while the cool dry season (May–September) turns milder and rain-free, often with coastal morning fog and lows around 18–26°C. The nearby ocean keeps the daily temperature swing modest year-round.
