Minette - OverlandingAfrica.com31 Oct 2011: Hi Steven. Summer days are hot, especially in the weeks that precede the coming of the cooling rains, and shade temperatures rise to the 38°C mark and higher, reaching a blistering 44°C on rare occasions. Winters are clear-skied and bone-dry, the air seductively warm during the daylight hours but, because there is no cloud cover, cold at night and in the early mornings. Sometimes bitterly so - frost is common and small quantities of water can freeze. You can also check out our 'weather' webpage for more information on the seasons in the different countries in Africa. For a more detailed report, I recommend you contact the local weather bureau for more information. Cheers!
