The climate of Mongu (Zambia)
Mongu is located in the western part of Zambia in the vicinity of the
Zambezi Rover in the Western province. This region is the poorest
region in Zambia. The region offers little entertainment for tourists
besides the fact that it is ideal for stocking up and you can withdraw
money at the local bank. During the rainy period the region gets
flooded quite often.
Mongu has a tropical steppe climate. Temperatures are slightly higher
here than in the more northerly situated regions. The rainy period is
during the local summer and lasts for about 5 months. Nights are not
as cold here as in the rest of the country.

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:
