Climate

The climate is tropical in the north and subtropical in the south, with temperate climates in the higher altitudes. There are two distinct seasons: hot and humid (September to May), in which the rainfall levels are quite high and cold and dry (May to September), called Cacimbo.

Angola’s average temperatures are 27 ° C maximum and 17 ° C minimum.

Hydrographic

The hydrographical characteristics of Angola are directly related to altitude since the rivers flow downstream from the plateau zone and mountain ridge to the lower areas.

The biggest and most navigable river is the Kwanza, measuring 1,000 km. The primary hydrographical basins are the rivers Kwanza (the largest), Zaire, Mbridge, Queve, Cunene and Cuando.

Dilolo is the primary lake and Panguila and Muxima the primary lagoons.
