The best time to visit Namibia is during the dry months from May to September when temperatures are mild, ranging between 20-25°C. In June and July, nights can be cold, but the days are accompanied by an endless blue winter sky. The peak travel season is from early August to late September.

Summer in Namibia can be very warm, with temperatures between 30-35°C from December to January, marking the start of the rainy season. In January and February, scattered thunderstorms usually occur in the afternoon, followed quickly by sunshine. In a country with 300 days of sunshine a year, every raindrop is appreciated.
