June is a good month almost everywhere, but in the north-east the long rains can linger on until this month. September is also a good month, but at lower elevations the days can be hot. In October, the season of the short rains begins in the north, though in the first half of the month there is usually little rain, however, it can get hot at low altitudes. Zanzibar Just south of the equator, Zanzibar s weather pattern follows that of Tanzania very closely although always tends to be a little more humid and occasional rain in the dry season is less uncommon than in the heart of the mainland Tanzania. Generally the main rainy season, or the long rains, last during March, April and May. The humidity is high and daily temperatures reach the low-mid 30 s. The long dry season, when rainfall is fairly unusual, lasts throughout June, July, August, September and October. Temperatures vary hugely with altitude and location, but it s usually fine, clear sky and sunny weather it s a great time to visit Zanzibar. During November and December there s another rainy season: the short rains. These are much lighter than the main rains and less reliable. TOUR GUIDE VS.
