Typical Weather and Tourism in Tanzania


            Because Tanzania falls in the southern hemisphere, their winter solstice occurs on June 21 for this year, which falls on a Sunday. The average maximum temperature for this month is 29 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The minimum average temperature of this month is 20 degrees Celsius, which also equals to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation seems to be light in this month with an average of 6 days of rainfall within the month. It is said to be moderately humid still with the daylight length to be estimated to about 11 hours and 55 minutes.
            Summer solstice is also opposite from the Northern Hemisphere. Our summer solstice is during the month of June, while Tanzania's is on December 22. The average maximum temperature of this month is 32 degrees Celsius, which is the same as 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The average minimum temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, which equals to 73 degrees Fahrenheit. During this month, the length of day is longer by about two hours with the same hours of sunshine as the winter solstice. The humidity seems to be very high during this month. The difference between the two solstice days is that there seems to be more days of rainfall, with 12 days and about 4.5 inches of rain in the month of December.
            Ironically, to us, the spring equinox would be sometime in the month of March. However, in Tanzania, their spring equinox, or vernal equinox, lies on September 23. In the month of September, the average maximum temperature is 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) with the average minimum temperature 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit). For this particular day, length of daylight is estimated to be 12 hours and 6 minutes with about eight hours of sunshine. Precipitation is much lower compared to the summer solstice, but it also surprisingly lower than winter solstice too. In September, number of days with rainfall is about average five days with an average rainfall of one inch.
            If the spring equinox is in the month of September, then the Autumnal equinox in Tanzania is to fall on March 21. Length of daylight on this day is to be also 12 hours and six minutes with eight hours of sunshine. The average maximum temperature is high, being 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit) with an average minimum temperature of 23 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit). Precipitation for this month isn't as light like the spring equinox. During the month of March, there are about 12 days on average of rainfall with about 4.7 inches of rain on total average.
            Want the best out of your trip to Tanzania? Based off of these information, it seems the best time to go visit Tanzania is during the winter solstice. There are many activities to choose from. The winter solstice falls in the month of June, where animal spotting is easiest. Another outdoor activity to take advantage is to climb and hike the Kilimanjaro Mountain while being on safari tours. There are not really any weather hazards. June is just a start where seasonal rainfall decreases; so there will much more days of sunshine and to be outdoors. What better way to learn and play with wild animals and get the real safari life than being in Tanzania!
