Zambia Climate
Zambia’s elevation on a plateau gives a moderate climate, despite the fact that it is within tropical latitudes. Indeed the weather is so pleasant. Zambia has been nicknamed the “air conditioned state”. There are three seasons, warm and wet from December to April, cool and dry from May to August, and hot and dry from September to November. Only during the wet season is there noticeable humidity and only in the river valleys of the Zambezi and Luangwa is it very hot and then only in the month of October. While the rainy season occurs at the same period through out the country, the actual amount of rain varies considerably. It is wettest in the north, where more than 1,200 mm (45 inches) falls annually and drier in the south where rainfall is in the region of 700-mm (27 inches)
