Time your visit with Malawi’s seasons
Broadly speaking, Malawi has two seasons: dry and green. The dry season is from May to October. Within this, May to August is a cooler time of year with bright sunshine and fresh evenings.
Temperatures start to rise in September and remain high throughout the rainy season, which runs from November to April. The heaviest rains are often in December, January and February.
Because of Malawi's varied landscape, regional variations in weather are significant. The lower lying lake shore areas are warmer all year round, while temperatures in the highlands are refreshingly cool in the day with chilly evenings; particularly in winter.
