February weather forecast
Zimbabwe

February, similar to January, is characterized by high temperatures and significant rainfall as it is part of Zimbabwe's summer season and the tail end of the rainy period. Average temperatures across the country during February range from 25°C (77°F) to 30°C (86°F). The lower altitude regions, specifically the Zambezi Valley and southeastern Lowveld, can experience even higher temperatures, reaching up to 35°C (95°F) on hotter days.

In the highland areas such as Harare, temperatures are comparatively more temperate but still warm, with averages ranging from 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). Nights can bring a slightly cooler respite, with temperatures dropping to 15°C (59°F). It's important to note that, although temperatures are still high, they tend to be slightly lower in comparison to January.

Noteworthy is the city of Bulawayo, located in the southwest of Zimbabwe, which experiences less rainfall in February than the rest of the country due to its position in the rain shadow of the Matopo Hills. The reduced precipitation, coupled with temperatures slightly lower than those in the Lowveld, makes the climate more manageable for visitors.

Rainfall in February tends to be slightly less than that in January, signaling the gradual end of the wet season. However, heavy downpours are still common, and the country averages rainfall between 80mm (3.15") and 150mm (5.91"), with higher amounts in the northeastern highland areas.

Moving forward into March, there is a distinct decrease in both rainfall and temperatures. March marks the onset of autumn in Zimbabwe and the transition from the wet, hot summer to the cooler, drier winter.
