UNDP Climate Change Country Profiles

Abstract

Mozambique is located on the eastern coast of southern Africa at 11‐26° south of the equator, and has a tropical to sub‐tropical climate which is moderated by the influence of mountainous topography in the north‐west of the country. Seasonal variations in temperature are around 5° between the coolest months (June, July and August) and the warmest months (December, January and February). Geographically, temperatures are warmer near to the coast, and in the southern, lowland regions compared with the inland regions of higher elevation. Average temperatures in these lowland parts of the country are around 25‐27°C in the summer and 20‐25°C in winter. The inland and higher altitude northern regions of Mozambique experience cooler average temperatures of 20‐25°C in the summer, and 15‐20°C in winter.
