Wet Season–November to April

This season maintains the heat and brings the rains. Afternoon showers are common, and so are impressive thunderstorms. Skies are clear, and the landscape is many shades of green.

November – If the rains haven’t already begun in late October, they should start in November. It comes as a relief because the bush is so dry. The average daytime temperature is 34°C/93°F, making conditions very hot. Rain mostly comes in afternoon thunderstorms.
