Am I right or am I wrong ?Country forums / Africa / Tanzania | ||
Just a quick question and I hope that I am wrong. I believe one of the rainy seasons for Tanzania is December,January, February ? Thanks for the help. | ||
Dear Hellas, | 1 | |
loosely, the short rains are nov-early dec and the long rains are apr-beg june, however the pattern is not consistent. i have records for here (Mafia) going back some years and some years it's a very wet apr, drier may and no rain in june sometimes (like this year) dryish apr, some rain in may and very wet in june. most months of the year will see some rain but mainly showers rather than a deluge. | 2 | |
What titch said. January and February are usually fairly dry and HOT. | 3 | |
yep, they call feb 'suicide month' as the heat can cause madness followed by suicide (alledgedly) | 4 | |
Thanks folks. Maybe I'll give the place a miss in February. | 5 | |
