Kananga's Climate

Kananga lies in central Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the Kasai plateau in the Southern Hemisphere, deep inland and far from any sea, with a warm, humid tropical savanna climate year-round. Daytime temperatures are steady, usually 27–32°C throughout the year, with the plateau elevation taking the edge off the heat. Because it sits south of the equator, the long wet season runs from September to May with afternoon showers and thunderstorms, humid and cloudy, while the shorter dry season from June to August is cooler, clearer and much less rainy. There are no four distinct seasons, just alternating wet and dry.
