Climate
The Lakeshore areas have a low
rainfall, and a warm relaxing climate, which mean daily temperatures
ranging from 29deg C in January to 21 deg C in July. The highland areas
(such as Zomba Mountain) have greater temperatures changes, and the air is
bracing. The nights can be cold. The dry season is between May and
October, with rain intermittent during the remaining months but
particularly between December and March. However, there is always ample
sunshine at the Lakeshore.
