July weather forecast
Botswana

July is the middle of winter in Botswana and is one of the driest and coolest months of the year. Daytime temperatures average between 10°C (50°F) and 24°C (75.2°F), providing pleasantly mild conditions for exploration and outdoor activities. However, the coldness intensifies at night with temperatures often dropping as low as 4°C (39.2°F), particularly in the southern parts of the country.

In Gaborone, the average high temperature in July is about 22°C (71.6°F), while nighttime temperatures can dip to 4°C (39.2°F). In contrast, the city of Maun, located in the northern region, experiences slightly warmer conditions with daytime temperatures peaking at about 24°C (75.2°F) and nighttime lows averaging 5°C (41°F).

In terms of precipitation, July continues the trend set by June, with the country receiving less than 5mm (0.2") of rainfall on average. This lack of rainfall furthers the dryness of the landscape, leading to barren and dusty conditions, particularly in the southern parts of the country. Permanent water sources, however, remain active and continue to attract diverse wildlife.

Moving from July into August, the weather remains largely stable, though there is a slight increase in both daytime and nighttime temperatures. Despite the cold nights and dry landscapes, July offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly in the northern parts of the country where permanent water sources are abundant. This makes July an attractive month for visitors who wish to experience the unique wildlife and landscapes of Botswana.
