The climate of Djibouti City (Djibouti)
Djibouti City is the capital of Djibouti, a country located in the
Horn of Africa. Djibouti City has a population figure just short of
500,000 and is the economic and political center in the country. One
of the main sources of income is the port which forms an important
logistic junction in the region. The Central Market (Marche Central)
is situated in the center of the city, most activities take place
here. During the afternoon the street scene is dominated by men who
chew on the leaves and tops of the Khat Plant. Where in other
countries Khat is a controlled substance in Djibouti (and several
other African and Arab countries) it is seen as a social activity.

remains warm. During the coldest months daytime temperatures are
around 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). During the summer
daytime temperatures may easily rise above 40 degrees Celsius (104
degrees Fahrenheit).

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
