Inhambane’s Climate Compared to Mozambique’s Beaches & Parks
Inhambane is a coastal town located in the south of Mozambique. Its warm sub-tropical climate is representative of most of the country. Like Inhambane, the whole coast has some rain throughout the year, although much more in the Wet season, from November to April. Parks in the interior, such as Niassa and Limpopo, tend to be totally dry during the Dry season, from May to October. It is hotter and more humid on the north coast of the country than in the south. Rainfall in Gorongosa NP is higher than in Inhambane.
