Harare's Climate

Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, sits deep inland in southern Africa at around 1,490 m on the highveld plateau, so despite its tropical latitude the climate stays mild and pleasant. Being in the southern hemisphere, its seasons are reversed: a warm rainy season runs from November to March with afternoon showers and thunderstorms and daytime highs around 25–29°C, while a cool dry season from May to August brings clear skies, days of 20–23°C and nights that can drop to 5–8°C. September and October are the hottest, driest months just before the rains return.
