WEATHER AND CLIMATE IN BURUNDI

Burundi is not far from the equator, and in Bujumbura and the lower areas near the lake, it can be hot and humid. The higher altitudes are generally comfortable year round (usually in the 70s F/22-27 C during the day and the 60s F/16-21 C at night -- expect frost in the high mountains). The year is broken up into one distinct dry season and two rainy seasons. A short rainy season begins in October and ends in December. A long rainy season begins in February and continues through mid May. The long dry season extends from mid May to early October. During the rainy seasons, heavy downpours are not uncommon, but after the shower is over, the rest of the day may be sunny. Take rain gear and a sweater or light jacket year round.
