Ndola's Climate

Ndola sits in the Copperbelt of northern Zambia, on an inland plateau at around 1,300 m, so despite lying near the Tropic of Capricorn it enjoys a mild, pleasant climate with three clear seasons. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, the warm rainy season runs November–April, when it turns hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and showers, while the cool-dry season (May–August) brings clear skies, warm days around 23–26°C and chilly nights that can dip to 6–10°C, followed by a hot-dry season (September–October) with daytime highs of 30–33°C before the rains return. The elevation keeps it cooler than its latitude suggests.
