Likasi's Climate

Likasi lies in the Haut-Katanga region of the south-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, on a plateau roughly 1,300 m high, so despite sitting near the tropics its climate stays mild, a tropical savanna type with two contrasting seasons. The wet season (November–April) is warm and humid with frequent afternoon showers and thunderstorms and daytime highs around 26–29°C, while the dry season (May–September) brings clear skies, almost no rain, warm days and cool nights that can dip to 8–12°C thanks to the altitude. Being in the southern hemisphere, the cool dry season falls mid-year.
