Namibia has a dry climate typical of a semi-desert
country where droughts are a regular occurrence. Days are mostly warm
to very hot, while nights are generally cool. Average day temperatures
in the summer vary from 20°C - 34°C and average night temperatures
in the winter from O°C - 10°C.
Temperatures in the interior are lower because of the altitude, while
the cold Benguela Current has a modifying influence on the coastal
desert and its hinterland. The Benguela is the prime determinant of
the climate of the Namib, as it reduces rainfall and causes the omnipresent
fog typical of the coast. An interesting aspect of Namibia’s
climate is the vast differences between the arid southern desert and
semi-desert areas and the tropical water-rich north-east with its
abundant summer rains. |

Namibia is the most arid country in
Southern Africa, with a humidity of less than 10% during the winter
months and varying from 50% to 80% in the summer. Except for the
south-western
areas where winter rainfall occurs, rain usually falls in the summer
months between October and May, with a short rainy season in November
and the main rainy season from January to March. Rainfall is usually
caused by convective thunderstorms. These are unevenly distributed
throughout the country and normally
of short duration. Average rainfall figures vary from less than 50
mm along the coast to 350 mm in the central and 700 mm in the
far north-eastern regions. However, because of the high variability
of rainfall, especially in the arid regions, the "annual average"
does not necessarily give a true picture. An average rainfall of
200 mm per year, for example, indicates showers of anything between
80
mm and 280 mm.
