Malawi Weather & Climate

SUMMER: January - March
WINTER: June - July

January to March is the hot, rainy season. Temperatures average around 26°C, sometimes reaching the mid 30s. Many of the roads in the National Parks get washed away, and animals are difficult to see due to thicker vegetation. However, for the budget conscious, many hotels and activities are heavily discounted during this period.

In April, roads open up and the weather turns beautiful with clear skies, warm days and cool evenings. Although June and July are the middle of winter, the average daytime temperature is about 21°C. At this time of year, the nights get cold though, especially in the highlands.

By late August, the days become hotter, but the nights remain cool. By October, Malawi days are dry and very hot, with warm nights. The rainy season starts in December, so this month can be very humid.

Weather-wise, the best time to travel to Malawi is the dry season.
