Angola has a typically tropical climate, with a short wet season and a longer dry season. Conditions across the country remain relatively uniform, but a few natural phenomena do make for some peculiarities.

The weather in Angola’s coastal region is uncharacteristically dry due to the presence of the cool Benguela sea current. The region is largely desert or semidesert as far north as Luanda. The south is especially arid due to its proximity to the Kalahari Desert.

The climate in Luanda, where you are likely to live as an expat, is mildly tropical. Temperatures typically remain between 70°F (20°C) and 85°F (30°C) for most of the year. The winter months of June, July, and August only inspire small dips in the thermometer, so you will likely find temperatures quite pleasant.

On the other hand, the weather in Luanda during February, March, and April can be more difficult to bear. Temperatures are higher, and humidity increases. The city also experiences heavy rainfall in March, and especially in April, which can even damage basic infrastructure and affect road safety.
