Ethiopia Weather

There's some truth in the old Ethiopian Tourism Commission slogan '13 Months of Sunshine'. Although the famed historical circuit and the rest of the highlands receives rain between mid-March and September, most days during this period still see their fair share of sunshine. The far east and northern highlands see even more sun with significant rain only falling in July and August. The mercury rarely pokes its nose above the 30°C (86°F) mark during the day and plunges sometimes to almost freezing at night.
