Guidelines On Climate 

From June to October temperatures range from around 10oC (50oF) in the northern highlands to about 23oC (73oF) on the coast. On the plains the lower-altitude game reserves, the temperatures from June to October are warm and mild. On the coast, these months are some of the most pleasant to visit. From December to March, the days are hot and sunny with often not a cloud in the sky. Temperatures range from the mid 20oC (68oF) to the low 30oC (86oF) throughout the country. Tanzania’s equatorial climate brings two seasons of rain a year: the long rains that fall from mid-March to the end of May, and the short rains that come intermittently throughout November and parts of December.
