Nampula's Climate

Nampula sits on an inland plateau in northern Mozambique, about 150 km from the Indian Ocean, and lies in the southern hemisphere, so its seasons run opposite to the northern calendar. The city has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) with two clear seasons. The wet season (November–April) is hot and humid, with afternoon showers and thunderstorms, daytime highs of 29–33°C, and the risk of tropical cyclones drifting in from the Mozambique Channel. The dry season (May–October) is cooler, drier and more pleasant, with nights easing to 15–18°C thanks to the elevation.
