January weather forecast
Angola

January falls right in the middle of Angola's rainy season and is one of the wettest months of the year, especially in the northern regions of the country. The average temperatures during this month hover between 25°C to 30°C, but they can occasionally spike to 35°C in some regions, making it among the hottest months.

Rainfall in the northern parts, particularly in cities such as Luanda, is significantly higher than in the southern regions. Luanda can experience up to 150mm of rainfall in January. This high precipitation often results in lush landscapes but can also lead to challenging travel conditions due to muddy roads, particularly in rural areas.

The coastal areas, including cities like Lobito and Namibe, experience slightly cooler temperatures due to the influence of the cold Benguela Current flowing from the Antarctic. Here, temperatures generally range from 20°C to 25°C, with higher humidity levels.

Comparatively, the weather in January is quite similar to that in December, as both months fall within the rainy season and have similar temperature profiles. However, January is typically a bit rainier and slightly warmer than December. February, which follows January, also shares similar climatic conditions, but temperatures may rise slightly, and the rainfall usually increases, especially in the north.
