Climatically
ranges from subtropical to temperate and
alpine. There are three main seasons:
November/February - winter and
best tourist season, usually clear skies,
warm during the day, cool evenings.
Temperatures steadily decrease during these
months. Average temperature would be between
low 3/10 degree and high 20/30 degree
Celsius. During late Dec till February
temperature could drop steadily and up to
below freezing in the snow line causing
heavy fall on the snow which make the trek
rather challenging one.
March/May - summer season -
Usually clear mornings, afternoon hazy
skies, warm during the day but comfortably
cool in the mornings and evenings.
Temperatures steadily increase during these
months. Average temperature would be between
low 10/15 degree and high 20/35 degree
Celsius. Some rain shower can be expected
during these months.
June/October - rainy season -
Still fascinating for those interested in
the flora and fauna of the region and best
season to scale Mt. Hkakaborazi which unless
otherwise not possible to scale during
winter due to heavy snow fall on the
mountains. Average temperature during this
period would be between low 18/20 degree and
high 28/30 degree Celsius with high
humidity.
