What is the weather on Mount Kilimanjaro like?

The temperature on Mount Kilimanjaro swings between the two extremes of very hot or extremely cold. Generally, the lower areas will be humid and subject to plenty of rainfall – particularly in the rainforest and during the rainy season. The higher parts of the mountain are often much colder, with bitter winds and potentially snow at the top. Early mornings will warm up as soon as the sun rises and the days will be warm and bright. As soon as the sun sets, however, the temperature drops radically, often to below zero degrees.

Like all mountains, the weather is somewhat unpredictable. It’s best to avoid the rainy seasons from November to December and mid-March to May. Even during the dry season, however, it may rain occasionally, especially during your first and last climbing day when you are in the rainforest.
