When to go
Â
Rainstorms are not commonly associated with Namibia; most of the country receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain, and rain falls between April and October along the coastal region.
Inland summer days are warmer to hot with cool nights, although during Namibia’s hottest months, which are usually November to February, nights tend to be very warm. From May to September, days are pleasant with clear skies, but nights and early mornings become quite cold with frost and freezing conditions the norm from June through early August. Namibia doesn’t have dreary gray days, and the rainy season is actually a very exciting period to visit
