Best Time to Visit Malawi
While it is possible to travel all year round to Malawi, there are two broad seasons: the dry season normally runs from May to mid-October and wet season from November to April. The cooler months are typically between May to August and wettest normally December to February. It is important to note, however that due to the length of the country and differing typography and elevations, that the climate can vary starkly at any one time.
